After his father retired to the monastery in 1239, Johann ruled with his younger brother Gerhard I, initially under the guardianship of their Uncle Abel, then duke of Schleswig (later king of Denmark). He and his brother were constantly embroiled in disputes with the bishop of Minden.

Johann took over the part containing Kiel, Wagrien and Ostholstein, whereas Gerhard took over the part containing Stormarm, Plön and Schauenburg. Johann chose Kiel as his residence, while Gerhard chose Itzehoe. When Denmark ceded Rendsburg, it went to Gerhard.
