Life

His parents were Deichvogt Johann Christoph Witting (1735–1791) and Sophie Elisabeth born. Völcker.

Only two travel grants, 1795 and 1797, amounting to 150 and 120 Reichstalers, respectively, have been received for his training.

At first he worked in agriculture, probably under the chief master builder Christian Ludwig Ziegler . In 1784 he became a building supervisor, in 1788 a supernumerary conductor in the Hanoverian agricultural sector, in 1797 a real agricultural conductor and 1,800 agricultural administrator.

On June 13, 1801 he moved to Hofbau in Hanover, became court building administrator, in May 1802 vice court architect and in 1821 finally court building officer. His subordinate Georg Ludwig Friedrich Laves soon surpassed him. From 1818 to 1837 he was also a master road builder for the royal road construction commission.

On February 2, 1803 he married Dorothee Elisabeth Eggeling (1777–1839) in Dannenberg (Elbe ).
