Eschenburg came from the Lübeck Eschenburg family and was the son of the doctor Georg Bernhard Eschenburg (1811–1886), who was director of the Lübeck sanatorium from 1838. The philologist Bernhard Eschenburg (1843–1931) was his brother.

career

He first attended the Grautoff Candidate School and from Easter 1854 the Katharineum in Lübeck , which he graduated with the Abitur at Easter 1862. He then studied law at the University of Bonn , where he became a member of the Alemannia fraternity . At the University of Berlin , he was in 1866 for Dr. jur. PhD. Initially an attorney and notary in Lübeck , he was elected Senate Secretary in 1871. In 1885 he became a senator in Lübeck. In the years 1905/1906 , 1909/1910 and 1913/14 Eschenburg was three times mayor of Lubeck.

After 1905, when the new SMS Lübeck visited the city, the German navy was back in Lübeck for the first time on July 14, 1909. Korvettenkapitän Titus Türk , a son of the city and at that time President of the mine test station, had received exceptional permission from his authority to drive up the Trave in one of the vehicles under his control . The mayor visited him on the morning of July 15th on the “Pelikan” . Since Türk was a welcome guest in Lübeck, the Senate used his presence in the city to honor the commandant and his officer corps with a feast in the Germanist cellar of the Ratsweinkeller in the evening .

During the last visit of the emperor on August 13, 1913, he received him on the station forecourt and walked with him in the form of honor of the Lübeck regiment .
