In 1763/64, after a trip to the Netherlands, he worked at the Imperial Court of Justice in Wetzlar ; In 1764 he witnessed the coronation of Emperor Joseph II in Frankfurt am Main .

From 1794 to 1799 he was mayor.
He was initially married to Amanda Maria, geb. Tank, a daughter of Anton Tank, archdeacon at the Jakobikirche . She died on November 13, 1773 giving birth to her fourth child. On July 13, 1775, he married Catharina Dorothea Schnobel, a daughter of Friedrich Joachim Schnobel , chief pastor of St. Mary's Church , who died on January 17, 1779.
His son Christian Heinrich Lembke (1771–1842) also became a lawyer. He was council secretary in Lübeck and in 1802 one of the founders of the seaside resort in Travemünde .
