Life

In 1814 he became professor of Hebrew at the Collegium Carolinum and in 1817 additionally for Latin and Greek . He was the third professor .
From 1821 to 1827 he was director of the Martineum grammar school . He then moved back to the Collegium Carolinum as a professor of ancient literature and the oriental language. In 1836 he became a Councilor named in 1853 to the Privy Councilor .
As a leading representative of the humanistic department, Petri repeatedly opposed the conversion of the Collegium Carolinum into a polytechnic school . Only after his death in 1862 could the conversion take place, whereby the humanistic department was dissolved.
In Braunschweig he was Hoffmann von Fallersleben's teacher . He describes him as a man of versatile learning and filled with humanistic ideas, his teaching very instructive and stimulating. According to Fallersleben, his serious, often gloomy look was initially rather repulsive, but upon getting to know each other more clearly, it had an open, participatory character.
