Carl Wendelin Hertzberg was born the son of Wendelin Hertzberg (lawyer / mayor in Buttstädt). He enrolled at the Thomasschule in Leipzig on November 1, 1742; studied there from 1742 to 1749; at Universität Leipzig from 1749; and at Universität Jena from 1750. As a Thomaner he was in Choir IV (in St. Peter's Church) from May 17, 1744 (Pentecost) to June 6, 1745 (Pentecost). Although he attended the Thomasschule during J.S. Bach's tenure, it is not known if he actually studied with him. He received his Magister degreee in Jena in 1763; and worked as Pastor in Roldisleben from 1765. |
