From 1843 to 1847 he studied at the Bergakademie Freiberg (with Carl Friedrich Plattner, among others) and became a member of the Corps Saxo-Borussia Freiberg. He then worked for the Freiberg Hüttenwerken, since 1853 as a metallurgist chemist.
From 1875 to 1896, Theodor Richter worked as rector (Magnificent) of the Mining Academy and was the last of the Freiberg rectors elected for lifetime.[2] In 1890 he was elected a member of the Leopoldina.[3]
