As a child, he studied in Ruhla with Johann Jacob Bach; and from age thirteen on at St. Thomas' School, Leipzig under Johann Schelle and Johann Kuhnau. His fellow students included Christoph Graupner, Johann Friedrich Fasch and Johann David Heinichen.[1]
Roemhildt was court kapellmeister to Heinrich Duke of Saxony (1661–1738) at Merseburg, where he later died.
