Professional background
Erhardi was examined, ordained and then introduced as pastor in Siebeneichen in 1583 by the then Lauenburg superintendent Gerhard Sagittarius .
In the visitation report of the parish of Siebeneichen from 1590, Erhardi was described as a “young and hardworking man”, “so that he should have been born between 1550 and 1560”.
In 1605, with the consent of the community, he was appointed pastor to Lauenburg / Elbe and appointed general superintendent with the consent of the knights and landscape.
In 1614 Erhardi held a general visit. He published questions about the Lutheran catechism , which were introduced and used in all churches and schools in the country until 1687.
