He then worked as an assistant priest in the Diocese of Warmia , including in Freudenberg, Migehnen and Elbing. He received the “Stipendium Preuckianum” from the cathedral chapter in Frauenburg , which was donated in 1631 by the Warmia canon Johann von Preuck in his will to enable Warmia theologians to study in Rome. So traveled to Rome and studied there from autumn 1861 to summer 1862. After returning home he was appointed vicar of the Frauenburg Cathedral in 1863. At the same time he worked as bishop secretary and at the same time for nine years as secretary of the local cathedral chapter . In 1881 he was appointed canon in Frauenburg.

From 1863, Julius Pohl published the illustrated Catholic house calendar , the content of which he wrote mostly himself. He was also the founder of the Ermländische Zeitung in 1873 , which he then edited until 1878. In 1875 he founded the Ermland newspaper and publishing printing company in Braunsberg.

After the stroke in 1902 in Bad Cudowa and again in 1906 in the monastery of the Barmherzigen Brüder in Breslau , he moved to the St. Norberiusheim in Zell am Main, where he celebrated the golden jubilee of priests on July 26, 1907.
