He was educated at the universities in Altdorf and Erlangen, and devoted himself as much to philosophy as to theology. He finally desired to enter the ministry, and became catechite at the St. James's Church in his native place. In 1797 he was made pastor at Eltersdorf and Tannenlohe. During the Prussian-Nuremberg controversy he was dismissed, but the Prussian government gave him an appointment as pastor at Baireuth. He died Nov. 15, 1815.
