Johanniskirche and Johannisfriedhof (2013)

In 1636 he became pastor of the Johanniskirche in the Johannisfriedhof , at that time still in front of the city . Here he stayed until the end of his life. He developed a rich pastoral activity in the cemetery, which was expanded in 1644. He had further preaching assignments at the Holy Cross and at St. Sebastian until it was closed in 1646.

In addition, he campaigned for horticulture and fruit tree cultivation and processing ( Peltzkunst ), which had suffered greatly from the Thirty Years' War .

From 1635 he was married to Magdalena, b. Halbmeyer († 1673), a daughter of the printer and bookseller Simon Halbmeyer. Of the couple's twelve children, only four survived their father.

He was buried in the Johannisfriedhof.
