Bünekau was probably a son of the deacon (preacher) at the Aegidienkirche Hermann Bünekau († 1751) He studied law at the University of Göttingen ; In 1749 he held his first disputation here, chaired by Christian Friedrich Georg Meister (1718–1782), and in 1752 he was promoted to Dr. jur. PhD. He was elected to the Lübeck council in 1761 and appointed mayor in 1778. On his inauguration, Johann Georg Gesner dedicated the second part of his catalog of rare books in the Lübeck City Library to him . During his long term as mayor, the occupation of Lübeck by Danish troops fell in April and May 1801, which he was unable to prevent.

In 1796, as mayor, with the help of the Lübeck citizen companies , he had to settle the soldiers' uprising of the Lübeck city military , which had been triggered by outstanding wages. Two leaders of the uprising were shot dead. In 1797 and 1803 he negotiated with France about compulsory loans, which the French Republic demanded from Lübeck and the other Hanseatic cities to preserve the neutrality of northern Germany after the peace of Basel .

He dealt in detail with Lübschen law and wrote a bibliography of the same. His son Johann Nicolaus Bünekau was initially council secretary in Lübeck and was also a councilor for a short time after his death until he left for health reasons.
