Wilhelm was born in Windsheim, Bavaria. He was a tutor in the family of the Count of Obergreiz in 1783, received a pastoral charge in Greiz on Easter in 1786, and was called to Etzdorf on 2 April 1780 where he remained until his death. He wrote a popular book of meditations on the subject of Holy Communion, called Sentiments of Faith, which ran into ten editions. The devotional fervor of the book contrasted with the popular philosophy of the day which had infiltrated the Lutheran church in Germany. This philosophy, Rationalism, based faith on reason rather than revelation.
