Life

Georg Joachim Hieronimus Röhrs was born “in Hamburg” and studied in Göttingen at the university there . During this time he came on 5 September 1782, the St. John's Masonic Lodge The Black Bear in and held there during the years 1783 to 1786 various speeches.

Meanwhile Röhrs worked as the successor to Ludwig Matthias Heinrich Evers as the 15th inspector of the school teacher seminar in Hanover from Michaelis 1785 to Johannis 1788.

Subsequently, Röhrs worked from 1788 - benefited by the time of the Electorate of Hanover and the personal union between Great Britain and Hanover - as the second preacher at the German Court Chapel in London in St James's Palace . He is considered to be the authoritative founder of a reading library with German literature that was "donated" in this environment, with which he hoped for a better reception of German literature in London: The German reading library was obviously a kind of "gentlemens reading club" for educated people Gentlemen like Röhrs thought.

In 1797 Röhrs received a position as superintendent in Gifhorn. He was in correspondence with Friedrich Gottlieb Klopstock .
