In 1710 he obtained his doctorate from the University of Strasbourg with a disseration thesis titled ""De cordis palpitatione". From 1728 onward, he was director of the Prätor Franz Josef von Klinglin municipal midwifery school in Strasbourg, a popular school that attracted students from throughout Europe. He was considered an excellent teacher,[2] and he played a major role during the advent of scientific obstetrics in Germany.[3] Among his better known pupils was future Göttingen professor, Johann Georg Roederer.[1][2]
