Life

In the end, Johann Christian am Ende and Anna Dorothea Richter, daughter of the pastor and his wife, were born in Lastau as the son of the Protestant deacon from Graefenhainich. The paternal grandparents were city judge Anton am Ende and his wife Elisabeth Asseburg. After laying the general foundations at the school in his hometown, he attended the Princely School in Grimma for five years from August 8, 1719, and enrolled at the University of Wittenberg on December 8, 1723 . Here he defended the treatise Sententiam de tertia hominis patre repugnare sobriis Philosophiae naturalis principiis under Gottlob Liborius Dathe and Oratore ex animi corporisque notitia informato under Johann Wilhelm von Berger in 1725 .

As a result, he acquired the academic degree of a master's degree in philosophical sciences on October 17, 1727. In 1729 he returned to his hometown, where he became his father's substitute and, after his father's death, took over the office of deacon. 17 (43) 48 he moved to Schulpforta as an inspector and teacher , where he was among other things the teacher of Friedrich Gottlieb Klopstock . In 1748 he was appointed superintendent in Freyburg (Unstrut) . There he received an appointment as superintendent of Dresden in 1749, for which he went to the University of Leipzig in order to acquire the necessary academic degrees. According to his inaugural dissertation Deum gloriosum, seu gloriam Die a calumniis auctoris libri gallici de relig. Hominis essentiali, maxime ex Prov. XVI, 4. vindicatam sistit et c. (Leipzig 1749) he received the academic degree of a licentiate in Protestant theology on November 6, 1750 and the theological doctorate on November 7 of the same year. He then went to Dresden, where he took up the office assigned to him on July 14, 1750.

As a versatile educated man he was an excellent speaker. He was not without influence on the renewal during this homily . Without being closely dogmatic, he positioned Christian life and actions at the center of his work. Through his orthodoxy and his upright demeanor during the Seven Years' War , he gained high recognition. The first of the two sermons attended by Frederick II of Prussia in 1756 , and which were printed on his orders, gained great fame. This was reprinted repeatedly, most recently in 1831, and translated into French, English, Dutch, and Italian.

His marriage to the Graefenhainich Catharina Concordia Reibstahl, the daughter of Zschornewitz pastor Johann Christian Reibstahl, remained childless. He left considerable foundations.
