Life
Christmann's father was a professor at the Bebenhausen convent school . After his father's death, he grew up in Tübingen . At the local university , he studied philosophy and theology later. As an autodidact, he also occupied himself with mathematics and obtained his master's degree in this subject in 1799 with the dissertation "De centro oscillationis". After passing the theological state examination in 1805, he first became a preceptor in Brackenheim , in 1811 second deacon in Göppingen , 1812 pastor in Tailfingen-Nebringen, 1818 in Grubingen, 1821 in Wangen bei Göppingen and in the same year at the Peter and Paul Church in Heimerdingen . In addition to his pastor, he continued to devote himself to mathematics and published several papers on it. He tried in vain for a job as an unpaid professor of mathematics at the University of Tübingen. In 1826 he was recalled as pastor. He spent the last years of his life in Stuttgart, where he lived largely withdrawn.
