Life

Born Johann Christoph Wernher as the son of the pastor in Neukirchen and later vice principal of the grammar school in Öttingen , he enjoyed his first training in the vicinity of his father. Emulating his father, he went to the University of Wittenberg in 1717 , where he wanted to study theology. There he was accepted into the house of his cousin Johannes Balthasar Wernher . It was also this who encouraged Johann Friedrich to devote himself to studying law. Finally he became a lawyer in Wittenberg, held lectures at the university in 1723, obtained his licentiate on April 14, 1724, and received his doctorate in both rights on April 21 of the same year .

Thereupon he became an associate professor of law, associated with this lawyer at the court court and at the Wittenberg consistory . Finally he rose to full professor of the Pandekten , thus becoming assessor at the court court, at the Schöppenstuhl and on May 27, 1732 in the law faculty. In 1735 he was elected rector of the university , but died as the eighth person in this office. He was buried in the Wittenberg Castle Church.
