He was the son of the businessman Christian Friedrich Boehringer and the father of Ernst and Albert Boehringer , the later founders of the company (1885) from which Boehringer Ingelheim developed.

Christoph Boehringer initially studied for three and a half years in the pharmacy in Maulbronn and then worked as an assistant in pharmacies in Bönnigheim , Tuttlingen and Zurich for four years . After this apprenticeship and assistantship, Boehringer moved to his father's company, where he worked for a year as an assistant in the chemical laboratory in Stuttgart, before studying for one semester each at the universities of Tübingen and Bonn . In 1845 he graduated from Stuttgart with the pharmacy exam.

Then Boehringer joined his father's company and, together with his brother Christian Gottfried, became the owner of the company, which from 1859 was called "CF Boehringer and Sons". It was moved to Mannheim in 1870. After the death of his brother and father, Christoph Boehringer was the sole owner of the company from 1871. In 1880 he acquired Allmannshausen Castle on Lake Starnberg .
