Born: January 3, 1726 - Leipzig, Saxony, Germany
Died: not determined

Carl Ernst Süße [Süsse] was born the son of Johann Christoph Süße (businessman in Leipzig). He enrolled at the Thomasschule in Leipzig on May 23, 1742; studied there from 1742 to 1747; and at Universität Leipzig from 1747. 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.
