Life
Filtsch studied 1775–1777 at the Universities of Erlangen with Seiler and Rosenmüller and Göttingen with Michaelis, Leß, Feder, Heissmann, Blumenbach and August Ludwig von Schlözer . In 1781 he found employment at the grammar school in Sibiu, but three years later he took over the ministry. In 1791 he became pastor in Heltau, in 1797 in Urwegen and on March 25, 1805 city pastor in Sibiu, where he retired in 1835. In 1799 he was elected a corresponding member of the Göttingen Academy of Sciences .
He was also editor and publisher of the Transylvania quarterly (7 volumes, 1790-1801) and the Transylvania provincial papers (5 volumes, 1805-1824). At the suggestion of Samuel von Brukenthal , he persuaded Schlözer to write the Critical Collections on the History of the Germans in Transylvania (Göttingen 1795–1797), for which he provided the material. For this he was elected a corresponding member in 1799 by the Royal British Society of Sciences in Göttingen .
