Otto Heinrich, active as canon in Hildesheim, received the cathedral canon in Münster from Pope Urban VIII on July 7, 1629 and initially studied at the Sorbonne in Paris . After a letter from his father to the cathedral chapter , he received permission to change to another university, because the French do not tolerate any longer in France . In 1635 he received a Dompräbende in Osnabrück . On June 9, 1641, he received minor ordinations and two days later he was ordained a subdeacon. His ordination as a deacon fell on March 11, 1645. A year later he was cathedral cantor in Osnabrück. The election as provost of the cathedral was on May 5, 1650. A short time later, on July 20, he received the vacant cathedral provost from Pope Innocent X and on September 2, 1650 swore his oath of allegiance to him. In the election of the Bishop of Münster in 1650, he appeared as a strong supporter of Christoph Bernhard von Galen and was one of his loyal followers in the period that followed.
