Johann Gottlieb Wentzel was born the son of Johann Christian Wentzel (baker in Querfurt). He enrolled at the Thomasschule in Leipzig on May 18, 1747; and studied there from 1747 to 1751. Although he attended the Thomasschule during J.S. Bach's tenure, it is not known if he actually studied with him. He obtained his Magister degree in Wittenberg in 1758. After his studies, he worked as deputy rector and Kantor in Querfurt from 1755; Pastor in Möckerling from 1765 and Edersleben from 1774. |
