He studied first with local masters and later he received his most important musical training in Erfurt from Johann Christian Kittel, a former pupil of Bach, from 1786 to 1789. In 1790 he became town organist at Giessen, in a post he held until 1805, before settling in Darmstadt. There he remained the rest of his life as organist and teacher at the music school (from 1805); then became court organist in 1813, and finally chamber musician in 1817. He was praised as a teacher throughout Germany and Darmstadt became a centre for aspiring organists. Among his pupils were Charles Hallé, Friedrich Kühmstedt, Joseph Mainzer and the brothers Wilhelm and Carl Amand Mangold. He was awarded an honorary doctorate from Giessen in 1840. As a composer, he mainly wrote organ works, among them, many collections of chorale preludes. He also wrote instructional works, waltzes and variations for the piano, two masses, motets, cantatas, and much unpublished instrumental music. He published his own autobiography (Breslau, 1833).
