Friedrich August Kuhl (Preacher, Pastor, Bach's Pupil)

Born: September 19, 1719 - Annaburg, Saxony-Anhalt, Germany
Died: May 1779 - Baalsdorf, near Leipzig, Saxony, Germany

Friedrich August Kuhl was born the son of Johann Martin Kuhl (Kantor in Annaburg). He enrolled at the Thomasschule in Leipzig on October 10, 1732; studied there from 1732 to 1740, since March 26, 1732 already as external; and at Universität Leipzig from 1740, obtaining his Baccalaureus degree in 1744, and his Magister degree in 1745. Although he attended the Thomasschule during J.S. Bach's tenure, it is not known if he actually studied with him. After his studies, he was afternoon preacher at the Paulinerkirche in Leipzig from 1746; and Pastor in Baalsdorf from 1749.
