Life

Binder was the son of the Lübeck lawyer and councilor Nicolaus Binder . From 1803 he studied law in Tübingen , Göttingen and Heidelberg and was licensed in 1808 in Tübingen. In the same year he was admitted as a notary in Lübeck. The following year he joined the Lübeck civil service and became archivist and procurator . After the Oberhof Lübeck was dissolved by the French in 1811, Binder went to Hamburg to work at the newly created Imperial Court of Justice (Cour Impériale) . He obtained Hamburg citizenship in 1815 and stayed in Hamburg.

On April 2, 1823 he was elected to the Hamburg Council and worked primarily as a police officer. In 1855 he was elected first mayor within the council and was deputy mayor the following year. Following this pattern, he was mayor until 1861, he was the opponent of Mayor Heinrich Kellinghusen , against whose wishes he pushed through the reforms of the Senate. At the end of 1861 he resigned from the Senate for reasons of age.
