Hase, son of a teacher of mathematics in Augsburg,
first studied theology in Helmstedt and from 1704
mathematics in Leipzig. Through his work as a private
teacher for a noble family in Augsburg he took a
closer look at geography and cartography. 1719 he
became a professor for mathematics at the university
of Wittenberg, where he worked for more than 22
years.
During the 30th of the 18th century Hase started
to make maps for the Homann publishing house. As
a cartographer who realy made reseach into sources
he can be listed together with Guiaume Delisle (1675-1716)
and Jan-Baptist d'Anville (1697-1782). Main interest
he brought into the geographic-political history
of the regions of Europe, Northern Africa and Near
East.
