After he was recognized as an assessor, he embarked on a career in the diplomatic service in 1935. He worked as an attaché, vice consul and legation counselor. His stations were Sofia , Beirut , Bucharest and Istanbul . He then worked as an advisor to the Foreign Service's protocol. During the Nazi era, he was a member of the NSDAP from June 1, 1936 . In the SA he was a Rottenführer . Membership in the National Socialist organization was involuntary. During his internship in the Jüterbog camp, ultimately asked to join a “national association”, he and like-minded people joined the “steel helmet” of the Hugenberg DNVP. A short time later this was forcibly united with the SA. Membership in the SA led to membership in the NSDAP. As early as 1936 the regime tried to remove Alfred de Chapeaurouge from the service of the Foreign Office. In 1938 he was finally sent from Beirut to a labor education camp because he was “politically not stable”. He was told that if he tried to escape he would have to expect the family remaining in Hamburg to be taken into “protective custody”. In the personnel file of the Foreign Office it later stated in an order signed by Adolf Hitler that he was not to be provided for further promotion because he was considered politically unreliable. All related documents are in the family archive.

After the Second World War and as a prisoner of war , he settled in Hamburg as a notary .
