On December 30, 1802 Wolf became auxiliary bishop in Regensburg. In 1803 there was a vacancy in the diocese of Freising as a result of secularization in Bavaria . The auxiliary bishop Johann Nepomuk von Wolf carried out the ordinations on behalf of the Apostolic Vicar Joseph Jakob von Heckenstaller . On May 7, 1817, Wolf became Apostolic Administrator in Regensburg after the death of Karl Theodor von Dalberg . On September 13, 1821, he was called to the Bishop of Regensburg. Since Wolf was only able to exercise his office to a limited extent due to his advanced age, his later successor Johann Michael Sailer took over important management tasks as cathedral capitular , vicar general , auxiliary bishop and coadjutor in Regensburg (bishop consecration on October 28, 1822 in Regensburg).
