After graduating from high school in Arnstadt in 1842, Julius Hülsemann studied law in Jena and Leipzig from 1842 to 1845 and was then a candidate for the judicial service in Arnstadt, then a lawyer and notary, and from 1850 government attorney.

Julius Hülsemann was appointed to the council in 1875; he received the Schwarzburg Cross of Honor III in August 1880 . Class.

The city of Arnstadt honored its mayor with a hereditary funeral in the New Cemetery. In grave field 1.01 the grave slab erected on a wall reminds of him and his wife Hermine.

The new street that led to the new hospital was named Hülsemannstraße (by 1891 at the latest) .

In May 1895, a monument donated by a citizens' committee was inaugurated and given to the city. The obelisk stands at the entrance to the Alteburg complex, the development of which Hülsemann promoted.

A memorial plaque was inaugurated at Haus Kohlgasse 2 for the 100th birthday: “Here lived | Julius Hülsemann | Lord Mayor of the City of Arnstadt | 1872–1888 | In his memory on his 100th birthday | October 18, 1924. "

According to a resolution of the city council of January 1963, all of these honorary certificates should be abolished. In fact, only the Hülsemannstrasse was initially renamed (in Dr.-Robert-Koch-Strasse ). The plaque was apparently dismantled later (but kept in the castle museum). In July 2001 a new board (with new text) was installed. The monument remained untouched. After a restoration, it was re-inaugurated at the end of 1998.
