After completing his military service from 1813 to 1815, as premier lieutenant and company commander, he entered the Prussian administrative service on July 11, 1816 as government secretary at the Royal Prussian government in Trier . According to Franz Josef Faas, Rumschöttel is said to have provisionally headed the St. Wendel district as early as 1832 , but it only became Prussian in 1835. Faas also mentions a government secretary Rumschöttel, who was Rendant of the branch fire kiosks in Trier in 1833. A Heinrich Rumschöttel jr will be appointed as government secretary to the government in Trier. mentioned in the years 1820 to 1833.

Than the previous Prüm district Georg Bärsch to January 1, 1835 changed under appointment as Councilor to the Government in Trier, this Rumschöttel commissioned on 19 December 1834 provisionally with the administration of the district, which he decorated to August 1835, when Conrad Moritz as new District Administrator was appointed. Returning to Trier, he was appointed director of the farmhouse there on January 1, 1840, was the forest treasurer there in 1849, before he was appointed provisional district administrator in Gladbach on February 11, 1850, succeeding Joseph Anton von der Straeten . Rumschöttel died on duty in Cologne in 1853 in the house at Plankgasse 21, his death was reported there by his 61-year-old brother-in-law Ferdinand Sell, provincial tax secretary in Cologne, and his 27-year-old son Heinrich, notary candidate there.

Rumschöttel was one of the first pupils of Friedrich Ludwig Jahn in 1810, under whose direction he also witnessed the opening of the first gymnasium on the Hasenheide near Berlin. After his arrival in Trier he was a founding member of the first gymnastics community there from 1817 to 1820. In 1820 the authorities finally started investigations on suspicion of involvement in a state-endangering association against him, which led to a temporary termination which was discontinued in 1822 despite suspicions that had not been cleared up. The spying that ultimately continued into the 1840s probably stood in the way of his professional advancement.
