After the death of his father and his older brother in 1785, he came into the possession of the von Kellner family fideikommiss , which is why he has been nicknamed Kellner since then .

From 1772 to 1775 he studied law at the University of Göttingen . In June 1775 he moved to the court of Margrave Karl Friedrich of Baden in Karlsruhe as a government assessor, where he later rose to become chamberlain and councilor of Baden.
On September 10, 1778, he married Louise von Günderrode from the Frankfurt branch of the family. With her he had five daughters, including the romantic poet Karoline von Günderrode as the oldest . In early 1784 he suffered a hemorrhage from which he recovered only with difficulty. Two days before the birth of his only son Friedrich Carl Hector Wilhelm , another hemorrhage followed on April 23, 1786, of which he died on May 17, 1786.
