Anton Ludwig Frind attended a grammar school in Prague from 1835 and the two final classes in the grammar school in Leitmeritz.

He was ordained a priest on July 26, 1847 and then worked as a chaplain in Warnsdorf in northern Bohemia.

From 1851 he was appointed as a religion teacher at the Leitmeritz grammar school and was its director for a short time.

During this time he published the first volume of a church history of Bohemia , with which he became known in academic and ecclesiastical circles. The Germanic National Museum in Nuremberg appointed a member of the Committee of Scholars and the Vienna Central Commission for the Research and Conservation of Art and Historical Monuments as a corresponding member.
