He then worked at the German Institute of the University of Marburg, where he became a lecturer for Swedish from 1966 .

In 1968, Århammar received the order from the Mainz Academy of Sciences to continue the Heligoland scientific dictionary , which was later withdrawn. In 1974 the habilitation for "Germanic Philology with special consideration of Frisian and Low German" took place. In 1976 he accepted a professorship for Frisian and Gothic at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands .
