German Regens chori and composer. Nothing is known about his early life.
Around 1783 he joined the Cistercian Abbey Fürstenfeld, on 24 October
1784 professed the religious vows and he was ordained a priest on 17 May
1788. His tenure at the Abbey was interrupted by the dramatic political
changes of the time. The Bavarian secularization of 1803 led to the
dissolution of the monastery. Following this event, he was forced to
leave monastic life. He relocated to Landsberg am Lech, where he
continued his duties as a curate and remained musically active for the
rest of his life. As a composer, his extant works are mainly religious
and it comprises two masses, a Requiem, some minor sacred works as well
as symphonies and other instrumental music. Due to his monastic
connection, many of his original musical manuscripts are now preserved
in historical music collections, notably in the Bayerische
Staatsbibliothek in Munich.
