After that he wanted to take up the profession of teacher, but had to give up his studies because of illness. In the years 1884-1887 he served in the Kuk Infantry Regiment Hoch- und Deutschmeister No. 4 as a sergeant. Since his father had died in the meantime, he had to continue farming. In 1902 Eisenhut became mayor of Hagendorf and held the office for 18 years.
