Hamburg before and after the war. Hanseatic Studies by Carl Mönckeberg, Member of the Bundestag , published in 1917
Mayor Mönckeberg. A selection of his letters and notes, edited by Carl Mönckeberg , appeared in 1918

Even as a schoolboy he was interested in the fine arts. He composed and wrote lyrics for songs that were performed. As a student, he published next to Kuno Graf von Hardenberg , Engelbert von Kerkering , Levin Ludwig Schücking , Paul Viertel and Bernard Wieman from 1896 in the academic-literary Göttingen Muses-Almanac , edited first by Karl von Arnswaldt and then by Börries von Münchhausen , the title of which should remember the famous forerunner of the Göttingen Hainbund of the same name . In 1906 and 1907 he and his brother-in-law André Jolles also wrote German-language plays under the collective pseudonym Karl Andres. Together with André Jolles he founded a theater association.

For example, for a joint men's breakfast, he received a group with the lawyer George Heinrich Embden , the writer Gustav Falke , the painter and graphic artist Arthur Illies , the writer Detlev von Liliencron and others.

From October 1, 1900 to June 1902, he was co-editor of the weekly Der Lotse , a Hamburg weekly for German culture, alongside the publisher Alfred Janssen (1865-1935) and Siegfried Heckscher . As Carl Mönckeberg announced in the first edition, “All major problems of the present day, as they arise in art, science, education, politics and economics, will be treated as deeply and fairly as possible in the pilot. Particularly bright light will naturally fall on the objects which can be observed more closely from Hamburg, as the city of trade and maritime interests, than from other German places. [...] He will therefore be very fond of Hamburg's conditions, but also with all the severity that a domestic ambition turns against his own achievements. This undisguised conscientiousness is all the more necessary as people in the Reich nowadays look to Hamburg with great expectations and give their cultural abilities a trust that actually has to be earned through deeds. ”Contributions by Lou Andreas-Salomé were included in the weekly , Hans Bethge , Max Dessoir , Otto Ernst , Gustav Falke , Wilhelm Foerster , Alfred Lichtwark , Detlev von Liliencron , Börries von Münchhausen , Friedrich Naumann , Rainer Maria Rilke , Hugo Salus , Paul Scheerbart , Wilhelm von Scholz , Heinrich Spiero , Paul Wertheimer and Karl Woermann published.

From 1904 he worked as an assessor at the Hamburg Finance Deputation . Between 1906 and 1909 he was a member of the council at the Hamburg tax deputation, and from 1910 to 1920 he was a member of the Hamburg citizenship . There he belonged to the German Democratic Party (DDP) and the left-liberal faction of the United Liberals and was a member of the Democratic Mission .

In 1911 he worked as an editor for the Neue Hamburger Zeitung , which was published between 1896 and 1922 .

During the First World War he was deployed on both fronts in the rank of lieutenant of the reserve as an orderly officer , including in the Southern Army and then in the Bug Army in the staff of General Alexander von Linsingen's Army High Command in the Balkans and the Carpathians . In 1916 he was awarded the Hanseatic Cross.

From 1918 he was manager of the Hamburg Committee for Settlements. From 1920 he worked as an assessor in the citizenship chancellery of the Hamburg justice administration and worked there until 1933 as in-house counsel for the Hamburg citizenship.

Parts of his correspondence with Gertrud Bäumer , Adolph von Elm , Richard Grimm , Maximilian Harden , Ernst Hardt , Walter Harlan , Gerhart Hauptmann , Harry Graf Kessler , Wolfgang Kirchbach , Anton Kippenberg , Albert Köster , Detlev von Liliencron , Börries von Münchhausen are in German archives , Wilhelm von Scholz , Arthur Schnitzler , Rudolf Schwander , Auguste Speckter (1824–1899), Friedrich Spielhagen , Karl Wolfskehl , Elsa Laura von Wolhaben and Ernst von Wolzüge .

Carl Adolph Mönckeberg died at the age of 65 and was buried in the family grave in the Ohlsdorf cemetery in Hamburg.
