He received his doctorate on April 30, 1823 in Halle. He then returned to his hometown, where he worked as an assistant doctor at the St. Georg General Hospital until 1827 , then from 1827 to 1830 as a doctor at the Hamburg citizen's military and from 1830 to the end of 1869, after he became increasingly ill, in addition to his own practice also at and hospital was active. In addition to specialist medical literature (mainly in the field of ophthalmology and eye anatomy), he also wrote medical-historical articles in specialist journals.
