In 1620 he obtained his master's degree there . The Dr. theol. it was awarded by the Giessen University.

Weinmann moved to Altdorf near Nuremberg , where he became Inspector Alumnorum in 1624. In 1628 he became a deacon in Altdorf and at the same time professor of theology at the University of Altdorf . In 1654 he rose to pastor and at the same time became the first professor of the theological faculty. He was considered a very strict Lutheran who took his positions provocatively. The City Council of Nuremberg therefore banned him from writing.
