From 1785 to his death he served as Cantor of the Kreuzkirche and Kreuzschule in Dresden.
Weinlig wrote several operas, oratorios ("Der Christ am Grabe Jesu"), cantatas ("Augusta"), hymns, pieces for piano, and sonatas in a sentimental style.
His nephew, Christian Theodor Weinlig, was also a composer.
