After studying medicine in Göttingen (1793–1796) he became a city physician in Elbingerode in the Harz Mountains, and in 1800 in Goslar. In 1804 he followed the call to the Philipps University of Marburg and took over the position of the late Professor Ernst Gottfried Baldinger at the Institute for Pathology and Therapy. Shortly before, he married Charlotte Siemens, the daughter of the mayor Johann Siemens, in Goslar. Because of his involvement in the unsuccessful Marburg uprising against Napoleonic rule, he was shot dead in 1809 in Kassel.
