Hach was a son of the Lübeck businessman and Riga driver Johann Jürgen Friedrich Hach (1723–1795) and his wife Johanna, née. Burghardi (1746–1806), a daughter of Adde Bernhard Burghardi . He first attended the Katharineum , then in 1788 at the University of Jena initially theology, but soon afterwards law, the latter from 1790 also at the University of Göttingen . In Göttingen he also heard Georg Christoph Lichtenberg in the winter semester of 1790/91 . In 1791 he took up his first activity as a lawyer in Lübeck and was managed by the canon Johann Carl Heinrich Dreyervery encouraged, who also introduced him to Lübeck's history and appointed him imperial notary in his capacity as Count Palatine . After completing his doctorate at Kiel University , he was appointed procurator at the municipal lower court in Lübeck in 1794 . In 1805, Hach was elected to the city council, which he represented as envoy after the mediatization of Augsburg in 1806 until the abdication of Emperor Franz II at the Perpetual Reichstag in Regensburg as leader of the curate vote of the free cities . During the occupation of Lübeck at the beginning of the French era , he was head of the billing commission and the hospital commission as well as the introduction of the Code Napoléon and the application of French taxes and tax laws.

In 1811 he had to work with other members of the council in Hamburg in the establishment of the Départements des Bouches de l'Elbe . With the liberation of Lübeck in 1813, he again found diplomatic use in the city's foreign affairs and represented them in 1814 and 1815 at the Congress of Vienna , at which the remaining free imperial cities were concerned with maintaining their sovereignty over the major and central European powers . After this mission was successfully shot down, he led the Kuriatstimme of the Hanseatic cities in the preparations for the German Confederation on the basis of the German Federal Act until 1817 . Then Hach worked again in the Senate of his hometown, u. a. as a member of the Lübeck Oberhof and as chairman of the finance department. In 1820 he resigned from the Senate for political and personal reasons and became a judge at the newly established Higher Appeal Court of the four Free Cities , an office he held until he retired in 1850.
