A Lutheran pastor and scholar, Lochner earned his master’s degree, then became a professor. His father then encouraged him to return home, where he lectured in logic and metaphysics.
A higher calling changed his life’s work. First he became a vicar at Wöhrd (now part of Nuremberg), then a vicar at Fürth under pastor Schuster. In 1663, upon Schuster’s death, he became pastor, and held the office for 36 years.
