He was particularly encouraged by Johann Gottfried Herder , under whose influence he devoted himself to the study of theological sciences. Danz enrolled at the University of Jena on April 27, 1787 . Here Johann August Heinrich Ulrich , Christian Gottfried Schütz , Christoph Gottlob Heinrich , Johann Ernst Basilius Wiedeburg , Johann Christoph Döderlein and Johann Jakob Griesbach became his teachers.

Following his studies, he was employed as a lecturer in the country school teachers' seminar in Weimar in 1795 and a teacher at the Wilhelm-Ernst-Gymnasium in 1797 .

In 1808 he was adjunct to the archdeacon and consistorial assistant Johann Christoph Metzel (born December 22, 1734 in Apolda, † April 18, 1809 in Jena) and in 1809 a deacon at the Jena city church St. Michael . The next year he became an associate professor of theology, in 1812 he became a full third professor of theology, and in 1814 he received his theological doctorate from the University of Rostock . In 1817 he was appointed consistorial councilor of Saxony-Gotha, in 1823 secret consistorial councilor and in 1826 he became second professor of theology in Jena. He worked in this role until his retirement in 1837. In addition, Danz was involved in the organizational tasks of the university institution. He was dean of the theological faculty several times and in the winter semesters 1816, 1820, 1823, 1824 and in the summer semester 1816 rector of the alma mater . On May 15, 1851, Johann Traugott Leberecht Danz died, who until then had still lived and worked in Jena. He had also written reviews of the Jenaische Allgemeine Literaturzeitung and various contributions to the General Encyclopedia of Sciences and Arts .
