He came from a poor background, but was able to complete an apprenticeship as a chasan with the support of a benefactor . Steckelmacher studied at the Rabbinical Seminary in Breslau and at the Universities of Budapest, Pressburg and Breslau, where he received his doctorate.

From 1880 he was city rabbi in Mannheim. He was a member of the religious conference of the Upper Council of Israelites in the Grand Duchy of Baden . In 1881 he published the third edition of the liberally reformed Mannheim prayer book from 1855, which was widespread in Baden.

The couple had three sons, including Ernst Steckelmacher (1881–1943), who was rabbi in the Dürkheim-Frankenthal district rabbinate from 1910 to 1935 and was murdered in 1943 in the Lublin-Majdanek concentration camp .
