Ewers was born as the son of the Lübeck merchant Friedrich Ewers and his first wife Therese von Großheim . The writer Ludwig Ewers was his younger brother. After attending school, he did a commercial apprenticeship at the Katharineum . From 1882–87 he worked in Colombia and England to gain international business experience. When he returned to Lübeck, he became a partner in his father's business. In 1897 he was elected to the Lübeck citizenship and in 1899 he became Senator of the Hanseatic City. He was one of the leading men in Lübeck's industry. Together with Senator Emil Possehl, he particularly campaigned for their blossoming .
During the imperial maneuver in September 1904, the senator accommodated Prince Heinrich in his house. The Lübeck Senator Johann Paul Leberecht Strack was his brother-in-law and partner.
In the Senate, he earned great services in the Commission for Commerce and Shipping in the field of trade and shipping issues. He was chairman of the authority for the maritime school and the commission for sea skipper, sea pilot and sea steamship machinist examinations. Member of the authority for Travemünde, and from 1906 State Commissioner of the Deutsche Seewarte in Hamburg . In addition, he was chairman of the works authority and the electricity company, as well as the gas and water company.
Even before he was elected to the Senate, he excelled in many areas of public life. As a member of the Lübeck Chamber of Commerce, he was particularly involved in the committee for customs and industrial affairs. In the industrial association, which he had headed since 1901, he earned special services in assessing railway affairs.
He devoted himself, and this from his earliest youth, to the upswing of Travemünde into a first-class seaside resort and sports field. With his move to Travemünde in 1913 he took over the authority for the seaside resort.
