From 1760 Reichssiegel worked as a preacher at the collegiate church and as a secretary in the administration. He was already working as a temporary teacher. From 1761 to 1766 he worked as a professor at the high school in Salzburg and then until 1775 as its prefect.
In 1775 Reichssiegel resigned all school offices and devoted himself increasingly to pastoral care. Here he was active in several localities and parishes that belonged to St. Peter's Abbey.
