Before Wilhelm Franz was appointed Bishop of Fünfkirchen in 1703 , he was the owner of cathedral priests in Münster , Paderborn and Liège . After the death of Canon Johann Adolf von Frentz, he was presented to a Münster prebende in 1670 and sworn to the families of Nesselrode, Sötern, Hatzfeld and Voss on February 9th .

On August 1, 1679, he applied for the office of secular court judge with the promise of still studying in France. On October 13, 1683, he was appointed secular court judge by Elector Maximilian Heinrich in Münster . In the following year he received the office of cathedral custodian in Münster from the elector of Cologne. At that time he was probably already in the service of the emperor , because when the prince-bishop was elected in 1688 he was one of the most ardent supporters of the candidacy of the Prince of Neuburg, who was supported by the emperor . From 1683 to 1693 Wilhelm was a liaison man in Vienna on behalf of the Liège prince-bishop. In 1695 he received the post of auditor at the Rota Romana through an imperial nomination - meanwhile imperial councilor . In 1706 he lost his position as imperial councilor. Wilhelm lived in Vienna in the house of the Prince of Vaudémont . After his death in 1704 he had to leave the house. In 1710 he stayed as an envoy at the Savoy court . From 1684 to 1722 Wilhelm was the owner of the Münster cathedral coast. He sold this to Hugo Franz von Fürstenberg and renounced his cathedral priest in favor of Franz Adolf von Nagel zu Vornholz. Wilhelm was also provost at the Stuhlweissenburg collegiate monastery .
