In the 1920s he studied political science and law at the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich and at the University of Hamburg . After the state examination and the doctorate to Dr. jur. followed a bank apprenticeship and work as an assistant at the Institute for Foreign Policy in Hamburg. Thereupon he became chief trade editor and in 1934 editor- in- chief at the Weser newspaper . After this liberal newspaper had to be discontinued in 1934, he worked in the management of the tourist office from 1935 to 1939 and later as managing director of the Society for Economic Development.
During the Second World War he was regimental commander and then, as a lieutenant colonel, head of the weapons testing and testing department at the Army Weapons Office of the High Command of the Army (OKH) in Berlin.
In 1947 he became a research assistant at the Bremen Senator for Economic Affairs Harmssen ( BDV , FDP) and was responsible for the memorandum: reparations, social product, standard of living . After that he was managing director of the Bremen Society for Economic Research until 1959 . From 1959 to 1971 he was Senator for Ports, Shipping and Transport.

politics
He was a member of the NSDAP from 1937 to 1939 and was denazified as a fellow traveler in 1948 . After the Second World War, Borttscheller joined the Bremen Democratic People's Party (BVP), which later became part of the FDP and was state chairman of the FDP in the 1950s. In the dispute over the direction of the federal FDP, he turned against the efforts of the conservative state associations to exclude any coalition with the SPD by pointing out that in the Free Hanseatic City of Bremen , instead of the SPD, the Socialist Reich Party would have to participate in government.
Borttscheller was a member of the Bremen citizenship from October 17, 1951 to December 21, 1959 and there as the successor to Heinz-Georg Rehberg from 1954 to 1959, leader of the FDP parliamentary group. His successor in this office was Werner Ehrich .
From December 1959 to June 2, 1971 he was the successor to Jules Eberhard Noltenius ( CDU ) Senator for Ports, Shipping and Transport in the Senate under the leadership of Wilhelm Kaisen (SPD) and most recently by Hans Koschnick (SPD). During his time as port senator, he made a special contribution to the development and expansion of container traffic and was therefore humorously referred to as the "container chorus". The port links der Weser in Bremen was built during his time as a senator.
Together with the FDP, he left the Senate in 1971 because of the considerable political differences over the establishment of the University of Bremen . Port Senator was then Oswald Brinkmann (SPD).
