From 1803 to 1810 he attended the Danish boarding school of the Moravian Brethren in Christiansfeld . Then he should learn the trade of a businessman; However, because of the French period in Hamburg , his father brought him to Johann Wilhelm Mannhardt in Hanerau-Hademarschen , where he could complete his knowledge of Greek and Latin and further his artistic and musical training.

Then Klenze studied from 1818 to 1822, initially under Bernhard Friedrich Thibaut, Protestant theology at the Georg-August University in Göttingen . He later switched to the law faculty of the Christian Albrechts University in Kiel . During this time he made connections and friendships that influenced his career and the guidelines of his work. In 1822 Klenze passed his legal exam in Glückstadt with "very laudable distinction" (II. Char. Msr A.) and received the naturalization patent a short time later . After five years as the official secretary of the Pinneberger Landdrosten Ernst August von Döring (1767-1850) he was elected to the monastery syndic in Uetersen in 1827 and married his wife Anna in September of the same year. van der Smissen, whom he already knew from Hanerau-Hademarschen.

As a member of the Holstein Assembly of Estates and a member of the Society for Patriotic History, Klenze made numerous suggestions, some of which received great attention and were also implemented. He wrote many socio-political and economic-political writings and participated through discussions in the German-Danish disputes in the period around 1850. At his endeavor, on October 6, 1842, the first German-speaking Schleswig-Holstein adult education institution was established as a "Adult Education Center as a day school" on the southern border of the Duchy of Schleswig opened. At his suggestion, the first advanced training school for farmers was opened in Rendsburg in 1842, but it was closed again in 1848. His ideas of adult education was the cornerstone for the later founding of the adult education centers in Schleswig-Holstein.

Klenze was not only an advocate of the law and human dignity, but also the initiator of community reform and promoter of the local economy and social coexistence. With the first mayor of Uetersen, Ernst Heinrich Meßtorf, he promoted the recognition of the town as a market town. In 1864 the place received local status and in 1869 took over the newly created Schleswig-Holstein City and Spatial Ordinance as binding administrative law for the place, so that the place was elevated to a city on January 13, 1870. In 1840 he founded the Uetersener Liedertafel, which still exists today and quickly developed into the cultural center of the up-and-coming town. As the syndic of the Uetersen monastery , he took over the official business in 1827 and soon took care of matters that went beyond his actual day-to-day work. So he designed an irrigation plan for the local mill pond so that a veneer mill could be operated in addition to the water mill and advised business and private individuals on legal matters. He was a co-founder of the Uetersener Spar- und Leihkasse and at his suggestion a people's kitchen for the needy, a placement facility for the placement of jobs for women and men was set up.
