In 1619 he became vice rector in Stade and in the same year he accepted a position as rector of the Güstrow cathedral school . In 1622 he became a member of the first scientific society north of the Alps founded by Joachim Jungius , the Societas ereunetica sive zetetica . He returned to his hometown in 1629, initially as sub- principal, the following year as deputy principal under the rector Johann Kirchmann and in 1643 as principal of the school for a further 21 years.

His epitaph with a portrait as a half-image and a Latin inscription is located in Lübeck Cathedral on the east side of the second south pillar and our famous Meier pays tribute to him , grayed in honor . The portrait shows him holding a book in his right hand and a pair of gloves in his left. It hung in the north aisle of the cathedral until the 19th century.
