From October 1945 he served as an assistant chaplain in his father's congregation in Flensburg. With effect from December 18, 1947 he was accepted into the service of the Schleswig-Holstein regional church and initially worked as a pastor in the preacher's seminary in Preetz . On December 12, 1948, he took over the pastorate in Oeversee .
