Life

The father was a tenant in Boldevitz on Rügen and some time later settled down with his family on a farm near Tribsees . Bernhard Friedrich Mönnich attended school in Tribsees and later the grammar school in Stralsund . From 1759 he studied at the University of Greifswald with Andreas Mayer and Lampert Hinrich Röhl . As a tutor he taught Mayer's children. In Greifswald he received his master's degree , later a doctorate in philosophy, and gave lectures as a private lecturer.

On the recommendation of Johann Joachim Spalding , he got a job in October 1770 as a teacher of mathematics at the school in the former Berge monastery . In 1778 he went to the University of Frankfurt / Oder , where he became a full professor of mathematics and physics. In 1785 he was appointed royal Prussian secret Oberbergrat and senior building officer at the building department in Berlin. From 1790 he was a full member of the Prussian Academy of Sciences . In 1797 he was dismissed from his offices at his own request.
