From 1975 to 1977 he was education officer of the Catholic rural youth movement in the diocese of Eichstätt , after which he did his community service in an institution for disabled people. In 1979 he began studying theology at the Friedrich Wilhelm University of Bonn , which he continued after four semesters at the PTH Benediktbeuern and graduated in 1989 at the theological faculty of the University of Trier with Heinz Feilzer with the doctoral thesis "Pastoral Theology of Youth". In 1981 he took up a position at the Don Bosco Benediktbeuern youth pastoral institute, where he became head of the institute in 1992 .
