After the theological faculty was abolished by the National Socialists in 1939, he came to Würzburg (as did Johann Baptist Aufhauser , Rudolf Hofmann and Anton Stonner ) as part of the distribution of the Munich teaching staff by the Ministry to various universities and taught there (as professor and successor to Andreas Bigelmair ) Patrology and Pastoral Theology at Julius Maximilians University .

He was co-editor of the Florilegium Patristicum .

Johannes Zellinger was an important sponsor of the young Franz Joseph Strauss . He spoke to his father, master butcher Strauss, to enable the son to have a higher humanistic education, since he had noticed the boy's talents for ancient languages. On his recommendation, Strauss entered the renowned Maximiliansgymnasium in 1927 , where he passed the high school diploma in 1935.
