Stieglitz came from a respected Leipzig family who owned a large house ( Stieglitzens Hof ) on the Leipziger Markt , and was a son, grandson and great-grandchild of the same name legal scholar: Christian Ludwig Stieglitz (1677–1758) was his great-grandfather, Christian Ludwig Stieglitz (1724–1772 ) his grandfather and Christian Ludwig Stieglitz (1756–1836) his father.

He first studied forestry , then law at the University of Leipzig and was awarded a Dr. phil. and in 1830 Dr. jur. PhD. His dissertation on German hunting law , originally written in Latin , was published two years later in an expanded version in German. The historical account of the ownership structure of forests and hunting in Germany from the earliest times to the formation of state sovereignty has become a much-cited standard work that was reprinted in 1974.

Stieglitz first became a private lecturer and lawyer in Leipzig, but then began a career as a judge in 1835 and became a judge of appeal in Dresden. He was best known as the author of a number of historical and legal treatises. From 1845 until his death he was director of the Royal Saxon Antiquities Association . He was also a member of the Dresden Freemasons' lodge Zum golden Apfel.

In 1846 the King of Saxony allowed him to make use of the nobility to which he was entitled, but not led.
