In 1757 Debler was first beneficiary , then canon and procurator of the Gmünder Kollegiatstiftes . In 1776 he took over the position of dean of the monastery from the late Johann Josef Doll . After Debler's work became known beyond the boundaries of the imperial city, he was honored as a clerical councilor of Augsburg under Prince-Bishop Clemens von Augsburg . After the death of the Gmünder Stiftspropst and Augsburg Auxiliary Bishop Franz Xaver Adelmann von Adelmannsfelden , Debler also took over the office of Stiftspropst in 1787 . In 1794 Franz Xaver Debler suffered a stroke , which is why he submitted a resignation in 1798, which was approved by the Gmünder Council and the diocese of Augsburg . Franz Xaver Debler was active as a chronicler, historian and cleric in Gmünd, but also as a genealogist and curator of the Balthasar Debler Foundation, founded in 1616.

"Provost Xaver Debler was a good, zealous man, had a great fortune and was respected, also had his weaknesses, but they were not to God's annoyance."
