In 1670 he graduated from the Jesuit high school in Munich (today Wilhelmsgymnasium Munich ) and entered the Jesuit order, which he left in 1675. He then studied law at the University of Ingolstadt and married Anna Maria Madalena von Zollner there in 1677, while still a student.

Ertl was then first court judge in Rottenbuch , then chief judge of the Steingaden monastery in Wiedergeltingen (1686 at the earliest until 1696 at the latest) and other Swabian towns and, from 1705, councilor and syndic of the emperor and the imperial knighthood in Swabia .

During his time as chief judge in Wiedergeltingen he wrote and published the Kurbayerischer Atlas in two parts in 1687 and 1690 , a geographical description of the then Electorate of Bavaria with copperplate engravings by Johann Ulrich Krauss .
