Life

Ritter was born in Hamburg as the only son of the Hamburg businessman Christoph Caspar Ritter († 1740). After his school education he studied law at the University of Leiden under Johann van den Honert and graduated on November 9, 1744 as a licentiate in both canon and secular law. After his studies he returned to Hamburg and settled here as a lawyer . From 1747 to 1749 he was a member and president of the lower court . On March 23, 1756, he was elected senior secretary to succeed Johann Julius Anckelmann (1692–1761), who had resigned for health reasons . On August 18, 1762 he was appointed councilor. As such, Ritter played a decisive role in the conclusion of the Gottorf Treaty of 1768 between Hamburg and Denmark. Ritter died unmarried in 1774 at the age of 58 in Hamburg. His will of July 6, 1774 was published on the day of his death.

After his death a satirical funeral poem appeared in which Ritter as Hippotes and Dietrich Peter Scriba as Grapheus talk about the living conditions and especially about Scriba's love story with the married prisoner Charlotte Guyard.
