He attended the public school in Stadtoldendorf from 1764 and the grammar school (today: Campe-Gymnasium Holzminden ) in Holzminden from 1772 . He received lessons from Friedrich-Wilhelm Richter (1727-1791), who later became the general superintendent of Braunschweig, and from the first collaborator Petersen, later the consistorial councilor in Wolfenbüttel , who aroused his interest in languages, especially French, English and Italian.

He learned the modern languages ​​in self-study, for this it was possible for him to use the library of the mining captain August von Veltheim , in addition he received writings from his supporters Jean Baptiste Feronce von Rotenkreutz , Johann Joachim Eschenburg and Professor Paul Jakob Bruns.

In 1782 he became lecturer of the English and Italian languages ​​in Helmstedt. In 1786 he was proposed as professor by the University of Helmstedt; after confirmation by Duke Karl Wilhelm Ferdinand , he was appointed associate professor of philosophy and the English and Italian languages.

In 1810 he received his doctorate as Dr. phil. in Helmstedt.

On February 9, 1810, he became associate professor of occidental languages ​​(English, French, Italian, Spanish) and philosophy at the University of Marburg ; in the same year he began teaching French in the winter semester at the pedagogy in Marburg for a fee. From May 8, 1811, by order of the Ministry of the Interior, he gave lessons in the higher classes and, from the winter semester of 1814, lectures on the beginnings of the English language at the pedagogy in Helmstedt.

On June 2, 1815, he was appointed full professor of occidental languages ​​at the University of Marburg by the Elector Wilhelm I and worked there until the summer semester of 1831.

He was married to Charlotte Wilhelmine, a daughter of Lieutenant Colonel von Obenhausen from Braunschweig, and they had five children together. His daughter Katharine Christine Sophie Wilhelmine was married to Christian Heinrich Bünger , professor of medicine at the University of Marburg .
