Hecht was the son of master Christian Heinrich Hecht, a citizen and shoemaker in Dresden and his wife Maria Rosina, born in Schwadelbach. From 1744 he attended the Kreuzschule , where he was accepted by the rector Johann Christian Schöttgen under the Kurrendaner. From 1757 he studied Protestant theology at the University of Wittenberg . After the usual examinations, he was accepted into the candidates for the holy preaching office in 1760 by the church council and the Saxon senior consistory. Before he was appointed to a pastor's position , Hecht initially worked as a private tutor in Prettin . In 1761 he was awarded his master's degree in Wittenberg. From 1767 to 1772 he stayed again in Dresden before Hecht was appointed pastor in the Erzgebirge mountain village of Sosa in May 1772 . He held the pastoral position there until his death in 1801.

Hecht was a member of the Electoral Saxon Society of Christian Love and Science and since 1764 an honorary member of the Princely Anhalt German Society . His story of Sosa, written in 1778, is next to the chronicle of Bockau written by Georg Körner , one of the oldest village chronicles in the Ore Mountains , although Walter Fröbe, with the argument that Hecht's curriculum vitae takes up the broadest space, indicates that it is “little more than the frame a self-glorification ”.

Hecht was married to Christiana Elisabeth Pusch from Prettin. One of his sons, Daniel Friedrich Hecht (1777–1833) was a professor of mathematics and mining engineering at the Bergakademie Freiberg .
