Pavels was the executor of the will of councilor Henning Parcham, who died in 1602, and thus one of the founding directors of the Parcham Foundation, which still exists in Lübeck today . In 1603 he was recorded as head of the Lübeck orphanage. Pavels was elected to the city council in 1612 and represented them as envoy in Copenhagen in 1615. As councilor he was involved with the construction of the city ​​library together with the mayor Alexander Lüneburg , which was opened to the public in 1619 in the dormitory of the former St. Catherine's monastery . He was the town’s treasurer from 1628–29 and 1633–42. In 1629 he was the parish council of the Marienkirche in Lübeck . Pavels was founded in 1640 by Emperor Ferdinand III. ennobled and called himself from then on knight Georg Paulsen von Weissenow . His daughter Elsabe married the Lübeck councilor Hieronymus Bilderbeke .

A full-length portrait made by Zacharias Kniller , the founder of the Kneller family of artists, was part of the equipment of the hall (today: Scharbausaal) of the city library and is now part of the mayor's gallery in Lübeck's town hall . His epitaph burned in the air raid on Palm Sunday 1942 in St. Mary's Church. His grave slab was reworked in 1727 for councilor Johann Heinrich Dreyer ; the brass inlays are preserved.
