---
German composer. Son of Johann Heinrich Gessel, kantor in Bautzen, he
probably received an early formation from his father. Although, almost
nothing is known of Karl Friedrich's childhood and youth. He attended
school in Kamenz and Bautzen, and probably received music lessons there.
After studying at the University of Wittenberg, he was appointed kantor
in 1746 at the Church of St. Nicholas in Löbau and in 1752 he worked at
the Church of St. John in Zittau, place where he remained until his
death in 1793. As a composer, he mainly wrote church music but almost
all of them are currently lost.
