Friedrich Aichstetter worked in the office of the Munich dukes from around 1421. In 1427 he became secretary and in 1433 secretary to Duke Wilhelm III .

On October 25, 1435, Duke Ernst Friedrich sent Aichstetter to Emperor Sigismund to ask for support against his son Duke Albrecht III. to ask. At the same time, Aichstetter had to present the political murder of Agnes Bernauer to the emperor in a way that was favorable to Duke Ernst. This is what the instruction for the Vice Chancellor says:

Aichstetter knows what to say about how she behaved with bitterness towards her son and around Gloz Straubingen ... The woman was so hardened in Poshait that she didn’t want to keep Duke Ernst as her judge and master, because she did claimed to be a duchess herself. And the angry Duke Seriously opposed the fact that he had been so hard and strict on the woman and she on his Sun that he could not say in a few words that his Sun had never been really happy in three or four years, he also had his Sun's life worried in front of her, in addition to what true customers come to him, that they wanted to have forgiven him for his brother's older Sun as well. And since the matter is lengthened in Poshait and there is no indulgence in it, and the longer, the more evil it went, he has the same woman drowned. "

Aichstetter finally succeeded in convincing the emperor to persuade Duke Albrecht to return to his father's arms as a repentant son after the city of Munich issued him a safe letter of safe conduct.

In 1437 Friedrich Aichstetter became vice chancellor. Between 1439 and 1441 he worked as a district judge in Burghausen and Wolfratshausen , where he also spoke in court about Duke Ludwig VII .

In 1430 the later Emperor Sigismund gave him a coat of arms at the Council of Basel : Two acorns with an oak leaf - yellow - standing in a black field on a red semicircle. Friedrich Aichstetter had his noble seat in place of the old Sedlmairhof (demolished in 1922) in Sauerlach, where he had also held the village court since 1452. In the monastery church at Tegernsee , Friedrich Aichstetter donated a glass window each in 1459 and 1461, each bearing the coat of arms of the Aichstetter. Sauerlach also owes the Aichstetten, among other things, the walling of an approximately 40-meter-deep village well, which was completed in 1465, as well as the donation of forest and arable land.
