Life
Ludwig Voigt was the eldest son of the kancellist Johann Friedrich Voigt († 1772) and his wife Henriette Dorothea, b. Meitzen († 1794). He attended the Casimirianum Coburg high school in Coburg; from 1770 he studied at the University of Jena . Since his father died in 1772 and his scholarship was insufficient, he had to start giving private lessons at an early age. In 1775, on the recommendation of his teacher Justus Christian Hennings, he received the position of tutor for the children of Mr. von Berg auf Kadfer (Latvian Katvari, parish Ubbenorm / Umurga ) in Livonia . Michaelis In 1783 he accompanied two of his students to the University of Göttingen and stood by them as court master in their studies for two years. In Göttingen he renewed his acquaintance with Johann Georg Heinrich Feder and sat in with Ludwig Timotheus Spittler .
Michaelis In 1785 he came as a teacher at the newly founded teaching institute of Friedrich Bernhard von Wickede in Lübeck . In 1786 he and his students witnessed Jean-Pierre Blanchard's balloon ascent in Hamburg. When the institute closed in 1790 and von Wickede had to file for bankruptcy, Voigt accepted a position as professor and rector in Hildburghausen . In 1794 he was appointed rector of Åbo, Finland . He missed the last ship of autumn, stayed in Lübeck until spring 1795 and gave private lessons. Then he followed the advice of well-meaning friends and went to Hamburg to found an educational institute for boys . The institute got off to a very good start; he was soon able to enlarge his connection with the writer Leonhard Wächter . In the summer of 1803 he visited his brother in Riga, and in 1810 his relatives in Coburg. However, the consequences of the French era in Hamburg and the Wars of Liberation , especially the siege and liberation of the city in 1813, brought his institute to a standstill.
So he accepted his brother's invitation to come all the way to Riga, and in the summer of 1814 traveled to the Baltic States with his two sons. At first he gave private lessons. On January 8, 1815, he was introduced as a teacher at the Second District School. Two years later he was appointed teacher at the city daughters' school . On September 1, 1820, he was made provisional inspector of the second county school. On April 23, 1821 he was appointed inspector.
He died after a long and serious illness on the 8th and 20th January 1835. The burial of the “deserving patriarch among Riga's schoolmen” took place from the Riga Cathedral on January 14th, accompanied by numerous relatives and friends, fellow teachers and former and last students.
In November 1784 Voigt had become a Freemason in the lodge Zum golden Zirkel in Göttingen . In Lübeck he joined the Zum Füllhorn Lodge in 1786 ; he served her as a secretary and in 1789/90 after v. Wickedes bankruptcy and resignation briefly as master of the chair in 1789 he was one of the co-founders of the society for the promotion of non-profit activities . In Hamburg he was a member and master of the chair of the Emanuel zur Maienblume Lodge and a member of the Patriotic Society . In Riga he was involved in the literary-practical citizen association and taught at the Luther Sunday School she founded .
Since the beginning of 1790 he was married to Friederike Christine Magdalena, geb. Ludemann († October 6, 1810 in Hamburg), a daughter of Captain Ludemann in Lübeck. The couple had four daughters and two sons. Two of the daughters died in childhood.
