Almost nothing is known about his life. He probably was born in Breslau, the main city in Silesia region. Some of the foremost lutenists in Europe were born there as well, among others, Johann Jacob Weiss, Johann Sigismund Weiss, Silvius Leopold Weiss, Esaias Reusner, Philipp Franz Le Sage de Richée, Ernst Gottlieb Baron, Johann Kropffgans and Rudolf Straube. He probably received music lessons by some of them before tooking over a post of lutenist and chamber music at the court of Frédéric II of Saxe-Gotha in 1725. Unfortunately, two years later, on 27 March 1727 he died at the age of 39 following a fall from a horse. After his dead, Ernst Gottlieb Baron replaced him at the court.
