He worked as a clergyman in Ebstorf from 1671 to 1699, and as superintendent from 1678 at the latest.[1][2] His name was immortalized in 1684 with "Bey Zeiten Superintendent / H(errn) JOANNIS ENCKHUSEN" on a wooden plaque on the high altar of Ebstorf Monastery.[3]
His daughter was Lucia Elisabeth Steigerthal, wife of Christian Friedrich Steigerthal (1673–1723), a pastor in Hollenstedt.[citation needed]
