Kaemmerer joined the banking and trading company operated by his ancestors since 1750, which he continued with great success together with his brother Wilhelm Heinrich Kaemmerer under the name GH Kaemmerer Sons . He was one of the founders of the Vereinsbank Hamburg , from 1854 to 1874 he was a member of its supervisory board , which was then called the management. Part of the banking business was transferred from GH Kaemmerer Söhne to the Vereinsbank. Kaemmerer prevailed against his father, who opposed the establishment of a bank. Kaemmerer was on the board of directors of the Berlin-Hamburg Railway Company and was a member of the Mecklenburg Railway Company's committee .

In addition to his professional activity, Kaemmerer was involved in local self-government. He was a member of the lower court from 1855 to 1857 and a commercial judge from 1858 to 1860.
