Life
The son of poor parents attended the Kreuzschule in Dresden from 1673 . On November 23, 1682, he began studying at the University of Wittenberg . At that time the professors at the philosophical faculty were Christian Röhrensee in ethics, Konrad Samuel Schurzfleisch in history also in the oriental languages, Theodor Dassov in philosophy, Christian Donati in logic and Georg Kaspar Kirchmaier in rhetoric. As a private tutor with Wilhelm Leyser II , he was able to secure his financial existence and thus also attend the theological lectures by Caspar Löscher , Abraham Calov , Johann Andreas Quenstedt , Balthasar Bebel , Johann Friedrich Mayer and Philipp Ludwig Hanneken .
On April 27, 1686, he earned the degree of master's degree in philosophy. In 1687 he became a teacher in the Berge monastery near Magdeburg and on January 11, 1690 a deacon in Zschopau . In 1692 he became official minister of the Sophienkirche in Dresden . Soon afterwards he was promoted to midday preacher at the Kreuzkirche in 1697 , became Friday preacher there in 1700, was midday preacher in 1705 and ministerial preacher in 1706 at the Dresden Frauenkirche . In 1709 he became vicar of the Dresden superintendent , in which office he died. His works mostly include funeral sermons and take up the pietistic aspirations of his time, which he viewed from his Lutheran Orthodox approach. In addition, he dealt with the history of the electoral Saxon house.
From his marriage to Catharina Beringer († 1723), which he entered into in 1690, he had eleven children, of whom only the son Christian August Hausen the Younger and a daughter, who married the Pirna superintendent Stempel, survived their father.
