He studied law at the University of Kiel and was active here in the Corps Holsatia . After his graduation he entered the Danish administrative service in the duchies. He became 2nd official in the Steinhorst office and in 1842 as the successor to Joseph von Reventlow-Criminil Amtmann von Rendsburg .

On September 26, 1865 he welcomed the new sovereign, King Wilhelm I of Prussia, at the Ratzeburg train station .

After the formation of the Duchy of Lauenburg in 1876, he finally resigned in 1878 and retired, which he spent in Lübeck.
He was married to his cousin Karoline von Stemann (1810–1885). In the second half of the 1840s, Louise Froebel worked as a tutor in her household. Otto von Cossel (District Administrator) was a son of the couple. Otto von Cossel (genealogist) (1883–1967) and Maximilian von Cossel (1893–1967) were her grandchildren.
