Georg Wilhelm Kirsch was a son of the Hofer cloth maker Johann Gottfried Kirsch and his wife Margaretha Sybilla from Oberkotzau , née Müller. Georg Wilhelm was initially intended by his father to learn the cloth making trade. Attending the Hof high school was only possible in combination with his training. As a high school student, he distinguished himself through outstanding performance and gave other students tutoring. He continued his studies in Leipzig. In 1779 he became the rector of the Hof high school, succeeding Paul Daniel Longolius . In 1795 he gave the office to Johann Theodor Benjamin Helfrecht .
In 1791/92 Kirsch acquired the so-called Haacksche Rittergut in Bilzingsleben from those of Haacke and von Geusau. On June 22, 1792 he was raised to the imperial nobility in the Electoral Saxon imperial vicariate.
In 1802 he sold his estate in Bilzingsleben to the Bergassessor Schlüter in Mägdesprung , before he had acquired Gut Koppenow in Pomerania in 1801 and later moved again to Gut Slaikow near Lauenburg, where he died blind in 1829. In the local church register he is listed as Hofrat von Kirschy , with two sons and a daughter who were born in the 1780s.
