Between 1725 and 1730 he was employed as a private tutor for the von Ponickau family in Mügeln. In 1732 he took up his first pastorate in Markersdorf near Guben , where Baron von Schoenaich had appointed him. He was ordained on November 14, 1732.

Title page to "Catechetical Theology"

Ungibauer wrote theological works in the 1740s and 1750s, at least seven of which were printed. The main work is his almost 1,300-page catechetical theology from 1749.

Services related to the potato

Ungibauer probably got to know the potato already in his youth: the potato is first attested in 1690 in the Lunzig manor near Hohenleuben, about 30 km from Ungibauer's birthplace. Here there was a dispute between the farmers and the manor in 1722 about the additional compulsory labor in connection with the potato cultivation.

The pastor knew the social conflicts of the farmers when he tried to spread potato cultivation from Naunhof and turned to the landowners with mediating suggestions: For example, that part of the comparatively high yields from potato cultivation was due to the farmers, whom they consider " Deputatlohn " received from the landowners in exchange for their work in the potato fields. Thus the work of farmers has been paid to the manor fields for the first time and not only as old traditional fixed Fron required. Ungibauer apparently did not succeed in this kind of reform with his patron, the von Ponickau auf Pomßen and Naunhof. His suggestions found open ears with those of Bodenhausen on Brandis and those of Lindenau on Machern .

In Naunhof, Brandis and creators Ungibauer has remained as a friend and supporter of potato cultivation to this day memorable because he first potatoes in 1734 in Naunhof on the Pfarrfeld cultivated and could cause it in 1740 on the manor makers to 4, 5  hectares of field was cultivated. This was the beginning of the history of the cultivation of tubers in the Leipzig nursing home .

family

In 1731 Christoph Gottfried Ungibauer and the pastor's daughter Rahel Sidonie Zeißler stepped in front of the altar. Her daughter Charlotte Sidonie Ungibauer married the Baalsdorf pastor Kuhl. The grandson Karl August Kuhl was a professor of medicine and dean at the University of Leipzig and died childless in 1840.
