In the Duchy of Oldenburg he was given a position as tutor to Pastor Adam Levin Wardenburg in Hatten , where he taught his son Wilhelm Gustav Friedrich Wardenburg . He then worked as a private tutor in Elsfleth , before being appointed assistant preacher in the Kniphausen dominion in 1800 by Count Wilhelm Gustav Friedrich von Bentinck , responsible for the parish of Fedderwardenappointed. The first preacher there, Pastor Johann Dietrich Grumbrecht, was already very old and the second preacher, Pastor Upmann, was sickly. In addition, he was given the obligation to work in Sengwarden in emergencies because the two preachers there, Pastor Johann Friedrich Crome (1724–1802) and Pastor Karl Heinrich Hansing, were also very advanced in their old age. His ordination took place on June 3, 1800 in Fedderwarden, on June 18, 1801 he was appointed second preacher in Fedderwarden and in 1802 he was introduced to this office.
