Organ of the Gnadenkirche Hirschberg by Johann Michael Röder (1727), Reimann's place of work

Reimann was born the son of a potter and received his first musical training as a choir singer. After his change of voice he became a choraleist at the Magdalenenkirche , was trained in organ playing and in 1726 also became a sub-organist at the Magdalenenkirche. As his musical role models he named u. a. Georg Philipp Telemann and Georg Gebel . In 1729 he was appointed organist at the Gnadenkirche in Hirschberg, where he stayed until the end of his life.

During this time he went on a study trip to Johann Sebastian Bach in Leipzig . In Reimann's family book there are entries for the year 1735 from some musicians working in Leipzig, especially in the area around the New Church , including the later Schleiz court conductor Johann Georg Reichard and the organist Carl Gotthelf Gerlach , Bach's successor as director of the Collegium Musicum .

In 1747 he published a collection of polyphonic German choral melodies with figured bass . Of the 362 chorales in this collection, 118 are his own compositions.
