Life

He went to the theater at an early age and made his debut with director Tomola im Bergisches. Even on this small stage, his art of representation caught the eye, a great future was predicted for him. Since he also had a splendid voice, he tried his hand at character actor in tenor roles, but while he was only insignificant as a singer, his successes as an actor were described as significant and exemplary. He soon turned back to character portrayal and only appeared in the opera as an exception.

In 1822 he returned to Germany and first joined the Kassel association and then the Hanoverian court theater association.

After the death of his first wife, he married Margaretha Elisabeth Werther in Riga in 1822, the divorced wife of the actor Karl Eduard Pauli.
