After the death of his parents, Johann Schlitpacher came to live with relatives in Weilheim in 1413. From 1421 he attended secondary school in Ulm and from 1424 the university in Vienna . In 1434 he came to the Melk monastery school as a teacher (Magister) for scholars . In 1435 he decided to enter the monastery, and after a successful novitiate he made his solemn profession on April 19, 1436 in Melk .

The rest of his life was entirely dedicated to the implementation and dissemination of the renewal of monastic life that had begun in Melk ( Melker Reform ). In 1441 Schlitpacher was entrusted with the reform of the Sankt Ulrich und Afra monastery in Augsburg.
