Schnabel grew up at his father's place of work in Hohenheim, Heidenheim an der Brenz and Stuttgart, where he passed his Abitur. From 1922 he studied law in Tübingen and Berlin .

From March to October 1936 Erich Springer was acting head of the Friedrichshafen Police Department.

On October 17, 1936, he became official administrator and on December 20, 1938, officially District Administrator of the Tettnang district . Probably because of his resistance to the euthanasia measures of the Nazi regime, he lost his UK position in 1943 and was called up for military service. He came to the air defense in Berlin, while Ministerialrat Gustav Drautz took over the provisional management of the Tettnang District Office . In July 1945 he was released by the US military government and interned by the French from 1945 to 1947 in Balingen and Ravensburg . In 1947, following an announcement by the State Commissioner for Political Cleansing, he was again dismissed as a civil servant due to his membership in the NSDAP. In 1948, after his denazification, a new perspective opened up for him at the police department in the Ministry of the Interior of the State of Württemberg-Hohenzollern. From 1952 to 1961 he was senior government councilor in Section III (police matters) of the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of the Interior and from 1961 to 1968 deputy head of the Baden-Württemberg state survey office in Stuttgart, most recently as senior government director.
