Michl became educator of Baron von Welden, a nephew of Prince-Bishop of Freising Ludwig Joseph von Welden , who also appointed him cathedral chaplain . In 1784 he took over the management of the alumnate in Freising as director and was educator for Count von Lösch in Burghausen . In 1791 Michl became a pastor in Randelsried , where he was attacked, abused and robbed one night in June 1799. In November 1799 he followed the call to professor of canon law and church history at the University of Ingolstadt and in December 1799 received his doctorate from the law and theological faculty of the University of Ingolstadt. As such, with the relocation of the university in 1800, he moved to the University of Landshut.

In April 1802, instead of a salary supplement , Michl received the parish of Oberglaim while at the same time collecting 600 guilders of his income, a Dominican parish determined by the Elector of Bavaria to be awarded to a spiritual professor. As early as December 1802 he was allowed to waive an annual allowance of 800 guilders. For his services he was awarded the title of royal Bavarian clergy . Anton Michl died on March 12, 1813, at the age of 59, in Landshut of dropsy of the breast .
