He attended the Schola collecta that the preacher candidates King Christopher Gotthelf (1765-1832) was conducted and was so prepared for this on the study that he was at Easter 1796 at the University of Leipzig enroll could. During his theology studies he initially attended lectures by Johann Friedrich Burscher , but then switched to philology with Christian Daniel Beck ; in this subject he also obtained his master's degree . He graduated in theology in 1800 with his dissertation Dissertatio philologico-exegetica in Jobi cap. XXVI, 5-14 and 1802 in Philology with Observationes philologico-criticae in Jobi cap. XXXIV, 19-25 .

At Easter 1814 he was given the second professorship at the Princely School in Meissen , where he met his teacher Christoph Gotthelf König as rector. Together they began to carry out some reforms at the school, but this led to disagreements with the other teachers, which led to König resigning from his position as rector in 1827, but remained at the school as a teacher; The management was now provisionally transferred to Johann Gottlieb Kreyssig, until a stricter ecclesiastical successor, who, however, did not prove himself, was appointed. This was followed at the end of 1832 as rector Carl Wilhelm Baumgarten-Crusius (1786–1845), with whom he became close friends over the years.
