He was based in Dharwad, under the Basel Mission in Mangalore. Herrmann Moegling, a fellow student from Tübingen also worked on translation projects.[1] Ferdinand Kittel worked more independently. He also undertook vaccination work in 1846.[2]
When Weigle died in 1855, his cousin Mögling (at the then late age of 45) married Weigle's wife Pauline.
