Eberhard entered the Cistercian monastery in Ebrach early on and made his vows here. After he was ordained a priest, his mother abbey sent him in 1208 to the Wilhering monastery in what is now Upper Austria .
Here he was the abbot of the monastic community. Nothing is known about the exact deeds of Eberhard as Abbot of Wilhering. What is certain is that he was recalled to Franconia in 1215 . The predecessor Abbot Meingoth had given up in Ebrach and the abbot's chair had remained vacant for years.
