Early years
He was the son of a wagon owner .

Then he attended the mechanical engineering school in Dortmund. After successfully completing his degree, he worked as an engineer at the Dortmunder Union , the Hoesch steelworks in Dortmund and the Schiffswerft AG Weser in Bremen .
1892 enrolled him at the Technical University of Charlottenburg , where he spent six semesters studied shipbuilding and marine engineering. During this time, in 1894/95, he made a trip as an engineer assistant on a steamer to Japan, China and the USA. After successfully completing his studies, he became a production engineer and later a senior engineer at the ship and mechanical engineering company Germania in Tegel and Kiel and then at the Saxon Steamship and Mechanical Engineering Institute in Dresden - Neustadt . In October 1903 he moved to the Stülcken shipyard in Hamburg as chief engineer and authorized signatory .
Shipyard owner
In 1909 Schultenkämper bought a share in the Joh. Thormählen & Co. shipyard in Elmshorn , where he initially worked as a production engineer. In 1916 at the latest it became the sole owner. He pursued the construction of barges , barges , pontoons and ship hulls for smaller motor and steam ships . The shipyard flourished. During the war Schultenkämper received the Cross of Merit for War Aid .
The hyperinflation of 1922/23 and the resulting collapse of the German economy were the company's undoing, and in 1925 Schultenkämper had to close the shipyard. He himself died soon afterwards.
