His father was the Prussian infantry captain Wolf Friedrich Gottlob von Stülpnagel (1747–1807), his mother was Charlotte nee. von Klaeden (1755–1831).

At the outbreak of war in 1812-13 he became a lieutenant in the 1st Regiment of the brigade Badische Infantry of Count Wilhelm von Hochberg one, the IX the. Corps under the French Marshal Victor, Duke of Belluno , and fell into Russian captivity at the end of November 1812.

In 1822 an ear ailment that caused almost total deafness forced him to request his departure from the army. Since he had little wealth and little income, he moved to Wandersleben and in 1823 became a draftsman in the geographic institute of Justus Perthes in Gotha . There he worked with the cartographer Adolf Stieler on the continuation and improvement of his “ Handatlas over all parts of the world ” , which appeared for the first time in the years 1817–1823 . He also drew a floor plan of Erfurt , which appeared as a lithograph in 1826 . Soon he was next to Stieler, Karl von Spruner , Emil von Sydow , Heinrich Berghaus and August Petermann as a "pillar of the business". He drafted a number of supplementary sheets to Stieler's hand atlas and corrected the others on the basis of the latest appearances in geographical literature and travelogues. Numerous other works followed.

On September 10, 1835, Stülpnagel was finally retired from the army and received a pension as a captain. After Adolf Stieler's death in 1836, he moved to Gotha and continued the map series of his predecessor at Perthes in association with Heinrich Berghaus and Joseph Christoph Bär . From 1863 he had to limit his work more and more due to increasing age-related complaints. He died in 1865 at the age of 79, leaving behind his wife and eight surviving children.
