There he completed his habilitation in 1832 with a work on Homeric mythology . At Easter 1833 he went to the grammar school in Weimar as a collaborator , where he stayed until his retirement in 1866. Since 1851 he was here the rector and professor .

His successor as master of the chair was the director of the secondary school Julius Hugo Wernekke (1846–1929).

His works include two Latin grammars , of which the smaller first appeared in 1842, the larger first in 1850. The first edition in particular found rapid circulation and saw numerous other editions. The main merit of these books was the exemplary collection of examples to explain the rules.
