In 1646 he performed alongside Johann Klaj , Christoph Arnold , Johann Sechst , Johann Helwig and Johann Ludwig Faber with mourning poems for Johann Saubert the Elder. Ä. and Wolfgang Stöberlein. Later he also wrote poems on members of the Hanau-Lichtenberg family and on special occasions in the Count's House or in the county, for example for the dedication of the church in Willstätt, which was rebuilt after the destruction of the Thirty Years War .
In 1673 Moscherosch was accepted by Sigmund von Birken into the Pegnesian Flower Order in Nuremberg under the shepherd's name Filander . He had been in contact with the Frankish poets' circle for a long time. He was also known or friends with Hans Jakob Christoffel von Grimmelshausen , who spent the last years of his life in Renchen, in the vicinity of the pastor's office that accompanied Moscherosch at the time.
Moscherosch's works are stylistically clearly influenced by the Nuremberg shepherd poetry. Best known was his Poetisches Blumen-Paradies (1673), a collection of sacred songs. In addition, a large number of occasional poems have survived. Poems collected by the author have been published in the two volumes Hanauische Lob-, Lieb- Lust-, Lehr- und Leid-Gedichte . Strasbourg 1668 and Fasciculus Anagrammatum Hanovicorum ... Augsburg 1669.

Moscherosch was born as a subject of the County of Hanau-Lichtenberg . Here he became a pastor in the Lutheran regional church , first in Offendorf in Alsace , then on the right bank of the Rhine in Bodersweier near Strasbourg .
