Because of his early lung disease, he gave up his career aspiration as a teacher.

He devoted himself to the unfinished work of Heinrich Wilhelm Schulz on medieval art monuments in Lower Italy and helped Ferdinand von Quast with the publication. The lavish company was financed by Schulz's brother Karl Wilhelm. Strehlke alone concerned about selection and criticism of the document book with 484 documents.
