He received his doctorate in Göttingen, and from 1831 was an instructor of technological-chemical subjects at the Polytechnic School in Hanover (Höheren Gewerbeschule). Here he taught classes in physics, mineralogy and chemistry.[1]

With technologist Karl Karmarsch (1803-1879), he published a technical dictionary (Technisches Wörterbuch).[2] Also, with Karmarsch, he developed a process for the preparation of gun cotton.[3][4][5]
