Live and act
Alberti was a son of Georg Siegfrid Alberti, the custodian of the Stephanuskirche in Helmstedt, and his wife Catharina. He was first taught by his father, attended grammar school and finally from 1765 the University of Helmstedt, where he studied philosophy , philology , new languages and theology . Here he acquired the Venia legendi and was in 1770 with the signature I. Dissertatio Philologico-Hermenevtica De Locis Sacrae Scriptvrae Parallelis cesarean Dr. PhD in Philology . His respondent was Anton August Heinrich Lichtenstein .
He passed the exam before the Wolfenbüttel Consistory with regard to the "right Lutheran faith" with regard to his suitability as rector. In 1769 he was appointed rector of the council school in Helmstedt and confirmed as such by the duke. He gave his inaugural address on “ Neologisms in the Latin Style” in Latin. He gave lectures on philosophy at the university and created school programs that should enable effective teaching in the different school systems despite overcrowded classes. His writings showed understanding for the students and their future. He saw Latin lessons as a basic requirement for training. He taught students, some of whom even came from Braunschweig, Halberstadt, Hildesheim or Magdeburg.
He married in 1770, but died of consumption only a year later . His widow received an annual payment of 12 Thalers from the “Princely Servants 'and Widows' Fund”.
As a practice-oriented pedagogue, Alberti shaped the school system in his hometown, despite his early death. Already during his school and study days he had taught the children of respected families and preached in the university church. He was also a subprior of the Marienthal monastery , which at that time also housed a teachers' college.
