His father was a pastor at the St. Andreas Church in Braunschweig. After completing his school education at the Katharineum, Lachmann began studying at the "Collegium anatomico-chirurgicum" of the Collegium Carolinum in Braunschweig and then studied medicine in Berlin and Göttingen.

On the side he worked as a teacher at several schools such as the Gesamtgymnasium and from 1827 to 1834 also taught free of charge in the field of natural sciences at the Collegium Carolinum, giving lectures on botany . At the end of 1843 he ended his activity at the Realgymnasium due to a hearing impairment, where he worked from 1825 (until 1828 the Realinstitut founded by August Heinrich Werner Brandes ) and at the Progymnasium.
