On October 10, 1600 he became a voting capitular in Ellwangen; the monastery chapter consisted of twelve aristocratic canons and the prince provost since the conversion in 1460 into a secular, imperial monastery. He was elected prince provost on January 27, 1621; his predecessor died on Christmas 1620. As a result, he resigned himself to the post of canon in Basel, but not to the post of canon in Constance.
