Life
The son of Adolf Friedrich Furchau , who was vice-principal at the Stralsund grammar school in the Katharinenkloster , attended the Stralsund grammar school and from 1806 studied theology at the University of Göttingen (like his father) and at the University of Greifswald .

Furchau, who was friends with Ernst Moritz Arndt , was also active as a poet outside of his church career.
