Quite early, he becomes a boarder with A. A. H. Lichtenstein, the principal of the Hamburg `Johanneum' (an elite high school). After completing law studies in Göttingen 1796-1799, return to Hamburg into the law practice of his step-father, Friedrich Gerhard Vogel. On his behalf, he spends 1803 several months in Paris and becomes there acquainted with various nobilities.

On 09sep1806, the mayor's daughter, Johanna Elisabeth Amsinck, becomes his first wife. After her early death (d. 1812), he refuses the offer of becoming the syndicus of the city and withdraws from all business.
1816 he marries Johanna Cornelia Sonntag (d. 1820), daughter of the Senator Claus Hinrich Sonntag and Sophia Magdalena Kopp. 1821 a third marriage, to Johanna Luise Elisabeth Hagelstein (1798-1891), the daughter of a surgeon in Oldesloe.

After the death of his very wealthy step-father, he then lived "im Winter in Hamburg und im Sommer in dem von Liz. Vogel ererbten Gartenhause in Dockenhuden, bis ihn im Herbst 1831 die ausbrechende Cholera veranlasste auch den Winter auf dem Garten zu bleiben. So lebte er ganz draussen, bis Nov. 1834. Von da an nahm er mit Frau und Kindern dritter Ehe seinen Aufenthalt ganz in Oldesloe. Ohne besondere Schicksale verbrachte er hier seine übrige Lebenszeit, im Frühjahr 1847 bekam er die ersten Spuren von Wassersucht und nach etwa einjähriger, zum Glücke nicht schmerzlicher Krankheit, starb er am 7. Mai 1848."
(in the winter in Hamburg, in the summer in the country house in Dockenhuden inherited from Licentiat Vogel, until the Cholera epidemic in the fall of 1831 caused him to remain in his garden place even in the winter. So he lived completely in the countryside until November 1834 when he moved with wife and children from the third marriage to Oldesloe. There he lived without any special events the rest of his life, in spring of 1847 he developed the first symptoms of dropsy and, after roughly one year's, fortunately not painful, sickness, he died on 7may1848.)
