Life
Father was born the son of the baker Albrecht Vater and his wife Maria († March 30, 1688 in Wittenberg). Since he was found to have a special mindset in early childhood, he was sent to school in Torgau in 1670 . In 1672 he attended the Augusteum grammar school in Weißenfels , where he was inspired by D. Christian Lujan for medicine, botany and chemistry and acquired the tools to be able to complete a degree. On May 9, 1674, he went to the University of Wittenberg , where he first acquired the basics of doing further research by studying philosophical sciences.
After he had acquired the academic degree of a master's degree in philosophy with the disputations de Principio salino , de Principio sulphureo and de vita hominis in utero on October 14, 1675 , he dealt more closely with medicine. For this purpose he had written the Disputation Convulsionibus, de Facultate naturali and acquired the degree of a licentiate in medicine with the Disputation de Melancholia in 1697 and received his doctorate in medicine on November 8, 1681 . After he had settled in Wittenberg as a doctor, he was allowed to debate publicly at the Wittenberg University in 1682. He became a country physician in 1686, was given an extraordinary professorship in 1690 and on March 13, 1692 the third full professorship in medicine . In 1695 he was promoted to the second full professorship, which he held until his death.
Father was also the personal physician of the Prince of Anhalt-Zerbst and, under the name "Nicomachus", a member of the Leopoldine Carolinian Academy of Natural Scientists . Most of his work consists of 87 small, occasional academic papers, programs, and dissertations.
