Johann Friedrich Gensiken [Gensike, Gensicken] was born the son of Peter Gensiken (Pastor in Düben). He enrolled at the Thomasschule in Leipzig on July 6, 1740; studied there from 1740 to 1747; and at Universität Wittenberg from 1747 to 1758, obtaining his Magister in Philosophy degree in 1758. As a Thomaner he was in Choir II 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. After his studies, he worked as Pastor in Frauenhain from 1758 and Wermsdorf from 1786. |
