In order to continue his education, he settled in Munich, where he attended the Royal Academy of Fine Arts from 1844, where his older brother Heinrich Ludwig had been studying since 1840. There taught u. a. the history painter Joseph Schlotthauer and Heinrich Maria von Hess , who also worked at the Royal Glass Painting Establishment founded in 1827 by the Bavarian King Ludwig I.

In Munich, Christian Heinrich and his brother Heinrich Ludwig initially joined the Royal Glass Painting Institute under the direction of Max Emanuel Ainmiller .

In 1851 they took part in the first world exhibition, the London Industrial Exhibition, with glass pictures, some of which were specially made for this purpose , in 1852 (or 1854) in the Exposition universelle des produits de l'industrie in Paris, in 1854 in the First General German Industrial Exhibition in Munich and in 1861 at the church art exhibition in Speyer .
