From 1830 he was also consistorial councilor and in 1833 he was appointed chief preacher in Ludwigslust. In 1839 he moved to Schwerin with the grand ducal court. Here he was chief court preacher at the castle church in Schwerin until his death. On Christmas Day 1845 he consecrated the neo-Gothic altar of the Schwerin Cathedral .

He was pastor for three generations of the House of Mecklenburg (-Schwerin) and responsible for its casualies : he confirmed the Hereditary Grand Duke Friedrich Franz II in 1839 and Duchess Luise of Mecklenburg in 1840 ; buried Grand Duke Paul Friedrich in 1842 , confirmed Duke Wilhelm zu Mecklenburg in 1843 , married Luise and Hugo Fürst zu Windisch-Graetz (1823–1904) in Ludwigslust in 1849 on October 20 and Friedrich Franz and Auguste Reuss zu Köstritz on November 3 ; baptized Hereditary Grand Duke Friedrich Franz (III.) in 1851 and Duke Paul Friedrich zu Mecklenburg in 1852 , each in the Golden Hall of Ludwigslust Palace .
