The son of the preacher Johann Lebrecht Albanus studied Protestant theology at the University of Leipzig from 1784 to 1789 , where he received his doctorate in 1788. In 1789 he went to Livonia as a private tutor . From 1792 to 1804 he was the rector of the Riga Cathedral School . In the meantime he was appointed deacon of the cathedral church in 1799. From July 1804 he held the office of the Livonian governorate school director. As cathedral preacher he continued to work. He gave up the school directorate in 1819; However, he continued to hold school and church offices. He published the Livonian school papers , of which only three years appeared (Riga 1813-1816). The Schulmännische Zeitschrift (Riga 1916) was even less successful. Despite the co-editor Johann Daniel von Braunschweig , historian and then Kurland governorate school director from Mitau , only three issues appeared.
