After completing his legal training, he left the traineeship in May 1862. He became a farmer and bought the Orlowo Estate (today Orłowo) in the Obornik District (today Inowrocław Municipality ) in what was then the province of Poznan (now in the Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship ). He built a manor house there. On December 1, 1890, he was granted honorary citizenship by the magistrate and city councilors of the city of Obornik in view of the services acquired for the city.

After selling his estate to Bruno Gottschling, Nathusius was appointed district administrator in the Obornik district in 1880 as the successor to the later chief president Heinrich Konrad Studt , after he had previously held the office as administrator. In this role he worked for 10 years. This was followed by a job as police director of Poznan, which he had to give up in 1897 due to a serious illness. Upon retiring from active service, he was awarded the title of Police Commissioner. After saying goodbye in Posen, Nathusius moved with his wife to Weimar, where he died in 1899.
