In 1640 he moved to the University of Copenhagen to study philosophy and theology. In Copenhagen he had found the opportunity to give sermons at the German Church. In 1644 he moved to the University of Rostock , where in 1646 he acquired the academic degree of master's degree in philosophy. Returned to Denmark, he went to the Sorø Akademi and in 1647 became an associate professor of the Greek language.
Another educational trip took him to Holland in 1649, to the University of Leiden , the University of Utrecht , the University of Groningen and the University of Franeker . Traveling via Brabant, he returned to Denmark, became pastor in Aaßfeld in 1651, honorary court preacher to the King of Denmark in 1664, received his doctorate in theology at the University of Greifswald on April 25, 1664 , became assessor in the consistory of the Duchy of Scania in the same year took part in the founding of the University of Lund , of which he was the first procurator , and was appointed professor of theology after the inauguration of the university on January 28, 1668.
They would have liked to keep him at the university, but on March 15, 1672, he accepted the position of superintendent of Bremen. He was introduced to his office on April 16, 1673 and was thus consistorial councilor for the duchies of Bremen and Verden and senior pastor at the main royal church, the Bremen Cathedral of St. Petri.
