In 1799 he became a trainee at the Reichskammergericht in Wetzlar, and in 1807 was appointed to the Stadtgerichtsrat (city court council) in Frankfurt.

On three separate occasions he served as alteren bürgermeister (senior mayor), and from 1837 was a representative of the four Freien Städte (Free Cities) to the German Bundestag.
