The son of pastor Barthold Niemeier (* 1612 in Osterode am Harz ; † December 14, 1666) and his wife Elisabeth (* 1619 in Rostock; † June 10, 1671 in St. Andreasberg), the daughter of the Rostock councilor Jakob Dringenberg and his wife, Regina Elisabeth Mittag (1619–1671), had attended the city school in his hometown and was strongly supported in his education by his father. As a result, he had received a high level of education at an early age and was able to attend the monastery school in Walkenried with his brother Georg (1645–1682) on October 4, 1658 . After six years he moved to the University of Helmstedt in 1665, where he completed philosophical and theological studies. After a short stay at home, he returned to Helmstedt in 1666, where he continued his studies and on October 2, 1671 received his master's degree in philosophical sciences.
He then held private lectures, became professor of philosophy on September 7, 1675 and professor of logic and metaphysics on January 10, 1690. At the same time he had continued his study of theological sciences, disputed on December 8, 1692 for a doctorate and was appointed doctor of theology on May 18, 1693 . In 1698, in addition to his philosophical professorship in logic and metaphysics, he became professor of theology and, after the death of Friedrich Ulrich Calixt, was given the theological professorship on ecclesiastical issues. He also participated in the organizational tasks of the Helmstadt University, was several times dean of the theological faculty and several times vice-rector of the Alma Mater. He suffered a stroke on May 5, 1708, from which he died. His body was buried on May 20th in Helmstedt.
