Endersch was born in Dörnfeld in Thuringia and lived most of his life in Elbląg (Elbing), Royal Prussia. He was educated in mathematics at the university of Berlin. In 1755 he completed for Prince-Bishop Adam Stanislaus of the Götzendorff-Grabowski family, a map of Warmia titled "Tabula Geographica Episcopatum Warmiensem In Prussia Exhibens". The map, which detailed the towns of Warmia, was commissioned by the court of the Holy Roman Emperor, Francis I.
Endersch also held the title of Royal Mathematician from Augustus III of Poland.
Endersch made a copper etching depicting a galley or sailing ship, which had been built in Elbing in 1738 and was named Die Stadt Elbing (German for "The City of Elbląg").
