Ernst Christian Wilhelm Weber, the son of a mill owner, first attended elementary school, then the Roßleben monastery school . From 1815 he studied classical philology in Leipzig (with Gottfried Hermann ) and Jena (with Heinrich Karl Eichstädt , Ferdinand Gotthelf Hand and Karl Christian Reisig ). In 1819 Weber completed his habilitation in Jena with a study of Juvenal's satires. He held lectures for two semesters before he was appointed as a collaborator at the grammar school in Weimar in autumn 1820 . There he was appointed professor in 1823 and later a councilor . In 1860 he retired. He died during a trip to Coburg , where he visited his daughter, who was married to a son of the poet Friedrich Rückert .
In addition to teaching, Weber published critical editions of the satirists Juvenal (1825) and Persius (1826) and the speaker Demosthenes (1845). Later he dealt with Goethe's time in Weimar, from which his study On the History of the Weimar Theater (1865) grew.
