Pedagogical and literary work

In his work as a teacher he used archeology to explain the old classics and was thus far ahead of his time. He also tried to revive the old custom of school comedies, but only aroused the alienation of his colleagues and the supervisory authority, this was reinforced by his defense of Ob der h. Hieronymus was able to read Plautus' comedies with a clear conscience during his nocturnal penance services? which he published in a school publication in April 1771.

In 1777 he published an explanation of the Mantuan vessel, which was an antique vase that was cut from a single onyx , stolen from Mantua in 1630 and was in the Braunschweig Museum .
