He was a student and initially a close confidante of August Hermann Francke , inspector of education and a doctor at the orphanage in Halle an der Saale . However, this relationship was subject to change and ultimately led to severe divisions. --in progresso--
From 1699 he was an institution doctor for the entire Francke institutions. Richter received his doctorate in Halle in 1706. With the gold tincture he sold, he opened up a rich source of income for the institutions.
As a Protestant hymn poet, he was a deeply religious poet of Halle Pietism . He died in 1711 at the age of 35 in Halle an der Saale.
From his total of 25 hymns, for example, the Evangelical Church Hymn book, edition for the Evangelical Church in Württemberg from 1953, still shows seven songs.
