Daniel Maichel first studied the liberal arts in Tübingen with the acquisition of the master's degree in 1713, then Protestant theology , and later got a repetition position in the local theological institute . Supported by the Duke of Württemberg, he traveled through Switzerland, France, England, Holland and Germany in 1718. In Lyon he got the honor of his dissertation "de origine rerum possibilium" from the local society of sciences, which met regularly under the chairmanship of Archbishop Camille de Neufville de Villeroy , to be accepted as a member. The Archbishop of Canterbury William Wake accepted him as a member of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts and also granted him free board and lodging in his palace for over four months.
A welcome opportunity for a second trip to France and Italy arose for him as the companion of two Counts von Graevenitz . After his return in 1724 he was given a full professorship in philosophy at the University of Tübingen. Soon afterwards, he was appointed associate professor of theology and evening preacher. Since 1726, when he became professor of logic and physics, he gave lectures on the above-mentioned scientific subjects and later on morals. He obtained his theological doctorate in 1730. Four years later he became the educational architect of the schools in the upper Duchy of Württemberg. In 1739 he became professor of law and politics and in 1749, when the decline in his strength was becoming more and more evident, abbot in the Evangelical monastery in Königsbronn . He died there, widely valued for his thorough and varied scholarship in theology, philosophy, and literary history.
