As a merchant's son, he attended elementary school and was accepted on April 1, 1799 by the then rector of the royal high school in Brieg Immanuel Johann Gerhard Scheller . He was u. a. taught by Friedrich Gotthelf Benjamin Schmieder and Professor Sauermann; he remained connected to him until his death. In 1809 he began his studies at the Brandenburg University in Frankfurt .

With the intention of initially studying theology, he listened to Hinrich Middeldorpf and theology professor David Schulz (1779-1854) around 1810, and then listened to the teaching profession with Thilo, Karl Wilhelm Ferdinand Solger (1780-1819) and Gabriel Gottfried Bredow (1773–1814). Returning to Brieg, he passed the philological and pedagogical exam on December 15, 1811, and then began teaching at the Friedrichsgymnasium (Breslau) .
