His childhood was spent on his family's country estate in Dockenhuden. 1829 Abitur [high school diploma] from the `Johanneum' [an elite school] in Hamburg, then law studies in Heidelberg (1829/30), Halle (1830/31) and again Heidelberg (1830/31), where he made the Dr. jur. in the Spring of 1832. After that, he traveled in Italy and France and, after his return in 1833, started a law practice in Hamburg.

"In October 1833, I settled down in Hamburg as a lawyer. In my two years in that role, I wasn't very successful. In the second year, I decided for various reasons to become a teacher, and followed up on this in that I went, on Michael's 1835, to Berlin, in order to steep myself more in Philology. After my return, on Easter 1836, I passed the teacher's candidate's exam, and then taught probationally at the `Gelehrtenschule' of the Johanneum, until Michael's (3. Oct.) 1837 when I was elected `Collaborator' at the `Realschule' of the Johanneum. On 10.09.1840, there followed election to full teacher at this school, and this was confirmed on 24.nov of that year by the `Scholarrat' [council of scholars]."

Until his death (1853), they lived with their five children at the Borgesch, near the church of St. Georg in Hamburg.
