Bredow studied at the Joachimsthalsches Gymnasium and later at the University of Halle, initially preparing for theology but shifting to philology under the influence of Friedrich August Wolf. He taught in Berlin and Eutin, succeeding Johann Heinrich Voß as rector, and later became Professor at the University of Helmstedt. In 1807, he traveled to Paris for research on Greek geographers. Later, he taught in Frankfurt an der Oder and oversaw education in Breslau, where he published translations of Plutarch and a study on Charlemagne. DB
