Life

Johann Christian Messerschmid, son of the rector Johann Heinrich Messerschmid , attended the council school and grammar school in Weißenfels and studied at the University of Leipzig since the summer semester of 1739 . Here he got the degree of a Baccalaureus on December 23, 1741 and advanced to the Magister of Philosophy on February 8, 1742 . In 1755 he became rector of the monastery and mountain school in Donndorf . On April 27, 1757 he was elected rector of the city school in Wittenberg and solemnly introduced on May 22. In Wittenberg, he pursued his request to participate in university operations.

In addition to his work as rector, he enrolled at the University of Wittenberg on May 1, 1759 , obtained permission to read for universities as a Magister legens on November 17, 1759, and became an adjunct at the philosophical faculty on October 3, 1765 . He appeared frequently as a writer in the field of German, the ancient languages ​​and Hebrew and thereby also earned the title of Baccalareus in theology. As a university lecturer, however, he neglected his work at the Wittenberg city school, so that there were frequent complaints about him.
