Brünnow attended the Joachimsthalsche Gymnasium before he enrolled in Frankfurt in 1738 and finally studied law in Halle by 1743 at the latest . He then found a job as a councilor in the Küstrin government. After he had acquired the Breitenfelde estate in 1762 , he received his departure at his own request in 1763.
