Klingenberg was the son of the later retirement master Ernst Georg Klingenberg (1797–1869) and Margarethe Elisabeth born. Richter (1807-1887). He grew up as one of six children in Wittmund . His younger brother Ludwig (1840–1924) later also became an architect.

From 1846 to 1848 he studied at the Polytechnic School in Hanover and was a student of Ernst Ebeling . From 1849 to 1854 he studied at the University of Munich and then taught architecture in Munich . In 1855 he was a teacher at the Municipal Polytechnic School in Nuremberg and in 1856/57 at the State Building Trade School in Nienburg / Weser .

He then worked as a freelance architect in Bremen from 1856 and as an architect and court building officer in Oldenburg (Oldenburg) from around 1864 . In that year he also received his first major contract in Oldenburg, the construction of the Augusteum as a new museum building. In addition, he dealt with plans for the renovation of the Lambertikirche , which, due to its conception as a complete new building based on the style of the Gothic Schinkel, resulted. The concept failed due to financial reasons and the resistance of the parish and the construction of the church tower was only carried out by Klingenberg's brother Ludwig in 1873. For a time he was co-owner of the company Osenbrück & Co. in Hemelingen (iron foundry, machine factory, wood trade). For many years he had his own office in Oldenburg, but before the turn of the century he had already shifted the main focus of his activities to Berlin , where he built a number of public buildings and residential buildings and had already competed for the Berlin cathedral building in 1868 . As an architect, he also carried out assignments in Quedlinburg and other places. From 1907 he lived permanently in Berlin, where he lived until his death.

Klingenberg was married to Margarethe Luise Marie born in 1860. Salzmann.
