Life

Johann Daniel's father was a Magdeburg master craftsman. Sander was able to attend the Magdeburg Cathedral School via a free space and then study Protestant theology at the Friedrichs University in Halle . He gave up a permanent teaching position at the junior high school in Berlin in 1785 and was editor and editor of the Berliner Zeitung until 1789 . He then worked as a lecturer and editor-in-chief at the Berlin publishing house Voss and at the end of 1798 was able to set up his own business by purchasing the Weverschen publishing and assortment bookstore . As a publisher, he gave young writers the chance to publish. Among them were Karl August Böttiger and August Lafontaine .

The Sander'sche Salon , run by his wife Sophie and himself, was an important social and intellectual center of Berlin from 1800 to 1810. The scholar, who is valued as a stylist and translator , became Goethe's “last hand corrector” through the intermediation of Wilhelm von Humboldt . Even Johann Gottfried Herder and his wife were, for example, in correspondence with Johann Daniel and Sophie. Theodor Fontane added the publisher Sander as a literary figure in his short story Schach von Wuthenow .
