Life

Fabricius studied Protestant theology from 1697 at the universities of Halle and Gießen . Through the mediation of Baron Carl Hildebrand von Canstein , who encouraged the Royal Prussian Ober-Jäger-Meister and Kahren landlord Christian von Pannwitz (1655-1703) in his efforts to speak the Sorbian language, he was given the vacant pastor's position at the beginning of 1702 Appointed Kahren. In 1709 he became pastor in Peitz , and in 1726 superintendent in Cottbus.

In his parish village of Kahren, Fabricius set up a Sorbian printing house in 1706 with the help of his patroness, the widowed Anna Justina von Pannwitz, in order to produce Lower Sorbian editions of Luther's Small Catechism (1706) and the New Testament (1709) using older translations .
