Life

He was the youngest son of the senior pastor from Franconia of the Protestant St. Michaelis Church in Erfurt and his wife Catharina Magdalena née Merck from Schweinfurt. One day after his birth, the father died of the plague in Erfurt.

Johann Michael Langguth attended school and high school in Erfurt and studied theology at the University of Jena . He completed his studies with a master's degree and initially worked for some time as court master in Selb and from 1708 to 1710 as rector of the Thomas School in Erfurt. Langguth did not stay in the school system, however, but decided to permanent service as a pastor and was ordained on March 31, 1710 in Erfurt. His first place of employment was Walschleben , where he worked as a deacon until 1717, when he was able to take over the post of senior pastor there, which he held until 1723. Then he followed the call to a higher endowed position in Erfurt, where he worked as a deacon at the Predigerkirche until his death in 1729.

Langguth wrote numerous articles for printed funeral sermons and when he died in 1739, a funeral sermon was also put into print after his death.

He married his first wife in Sömmerda in 1711 and after her death in 1726 he married Anna Magdalena Kirchner, the daughter of the pastor of St. Andrew's Church, in the Predigerkirche. Both marriages resulted in a total of 13 children, of which Bishop Johannes Baron von Watteville is the best known.
