Life

Sievers was born in 1774 in the Electorate of Braunschweig-Lüneburg at the time of the personal union between Great Britain and Hanover as the son of the rector who worked in Dannenberg and later Pastor Sievers who worked in Schnega . Sievers spent his childhood and youth in Schnega, where he received his first lessons from his father.

He then studied from Easter 1794 to 1796 in Halle at the Friedrichs University and finally until 1797 in Göttingen at the Georg August University .

As a result, Sievers worked at his place of birth, Dannenberg, as a private tutor to his future father-in-law, the chief bailiff Carl Johann Samuel Grote . After an intermezzo as a preacher in Uelzen , he again accepted a position as private tutor, this time in Clausthal in the Upper Harz with the mining captain and later Minister Franz von Meding .

After he had managed the vacant position of the preacher at the old garrison church for a few years parallel to this task , in 1811 he was given the primary office of the Hanoverian Kreuzkirche . During the " French period " Sievers, who was soon counted as "one of the most distinguished preachers of his fatherland", wrote down his sermons in 1813 under the title The fight against the spirit of the times . After the death of Johann Friedrich Evers , Sievers succeeded him in 1827 or 1826 as the 19th senior in the municipal ministry of ministry .
