After his predecessor Johann Werner von Veyder was appointed auxiliary bishop in 1703, he took over his office as vicar general in 1704. In the years 1716 and 1717 he made extensive visits to the Duchy of Westphalia . This was followed by visits to the Eifel (1718–1721). In 1720 he was appointed cathedral capitular . The new Archbishop Clemens August initially left him in office after 1723.
