He received a doctorate in philosophy and returned to his hometown in 1797. A short time later his father died, the loss of which greatly bowed him down. Without wealth, he tried to make a living through private tuition, with no prospect of employment. In addition to studying older and newer languages, he spent a lot of his time relaxing with painting, which he preferably loved that he was not a minor poet talent which expressed itself in different ways but wanted to avoid any publication. He was a great friend of nature and on his (own?) he often designed it because the sight of always beautiful creation lifted him up and inspired the sketches for his sermons which he sometimes did in Lübeck itself often held in the country with applause. So he lived the years up to 1806. In this year he received the request from Dr Ilgen which principal in Schulpforta was there to take the position of a teacher of new languages. Since he had been free for several years had hoped for a promotion and the prospects were still very doubtful as some older theological candidates had greater demands for employment, so he accepted the offer, although it was difficult for him to give up a stand on which he prepared himself with a lot of diligence and worked hard. Having prepared his word, he showed his decision to the Senate. Many contradictions were made. He tried to hold him back by making various promises and offered him the prospect of hiring soon. He did not, however, abandon his intention by already making his promise had given him his word as irrevocable as the greatest conscientiousness and strictest legality were among his qualities.Therefore he married the daughter of a merchant and traveled to the place of his destiny educated minds were not enough and longing for a broader sphere of activity he gave up. Four years he lived there in a sphere that was not enough for his versatile educated spirit and longing for a broader sphere of activity he gave up his job and turned to Gera in the Principality Reuss that because of his friendly situation he had liked very much when he made little trips to the surrounding area from Jena.

In 1835 he celebrated the 25th anniversary of his institution and became, through the evidence of love, past and present pupils delighted in. He spent a lot of time in his free hours. In his free hours, he dealt a lot with his favorite science of physics. He had a nice cabinet of physical apparatus and also used it in physical lectures, which he gave in 1832 to explain his lecture through experiments and to make it more entertaining. He even started to write a work on physics in which he presented this science quite comprehensively and several observations that he wanted to share only physical suffering prevented him from completing his work, which was already hurrying towards the end and he had to make this wish to the many the rest lay what was left unfulfilled. His health which was always weak and which had caused hypochondria in younger years which occasionally drove him on small trips to disperse, with the years of course still fluctuating. His mind remained nevertheless fresh and (healthy?) which expose the aged beloved teacher who had only a very small fortune a pension which relieved him of the greatest worries. The day on which he received this proof of irrefutable benevolence he rightly saw the most beautiful of his life.

His heart beat full Benevolence towards his fellow human beings and full of tender love for his relatives. His spirit continually strived upwards and followed the political events with active participation. His temperament was choleric but so easily his feeling outraged by injustice, falseness or ungratefulness could just as easily be appeased. Did it matter if he saw that he had judged too severely or that one recognized his injustice? The ailing state of his body clouded the last years of his life, almost always suffering from some worries, he almost always longed for the dissolution of the last years of his life suffering from many worries he longed for the disintegration of the rotten body paralyzing his mind. The longed-for friend who took his mind from the earthly shell approached him gently and his sufferings ended in peace in the heart and vested strong faith in his chest he slumbered over into the Realm of eternal rest
