Freudenberg, son of the businessman Viktor Freudenberg, began studying architecture at the Prague Polytechnic in 1867 . After one semester , he moved to the Polytechnic Institute in Vienna as an extraordinary student , where he graduated very successfully in 1869. In 1872 he became the architect of the Wiener Union-Baugesellschaft and together with Josef Hudetz built a large rental complex, the Bartensteinblock , in Bartensteingasse .

In 1875 Freudenberg left Vienna to work as an architect in Moscow . First he took courses at the Moscow Academy of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture and then at the Imperial Art Academy , graduating in 1877 as an architectural artist, 3rd class . After building apartment houses in Moscow together with other architects and his project for a city duma building , he was appointed 1st class architecture artist by the Academy in 1880 . In Moscow he built tenement houses, business centers in the Kitai Gorod district, public buildings, two bank buildings, the Brothers Bachruschin Hospital (together with MN Tschiganow 1884–1895), the first part of the Shchukin Museum of Russian Antiquities (1892–1895 , now Timiryazev Museum of Biology ) and the first eight-story building in Moscow. He was a master of Russian eclecticism and pseudo- Russian style.

1894-1896 Freudenberg built the Sandunowskie Bani in the Beaux Arts style in the center of Moscow on the Neglinnaja . However, due to a conflict with the client Alexei Ganezki , he was unable to finish construction and had to leave Moscow.
