He was accepted on November 25, 1903. In the 1904 summer semester, he proved himself as a senior . “He was not connected to the corps through family connections and yet, like seldom anyone else, he understood how to find the goals for the corps politics of the present in the proud past of our corps. With ardent love he clung to his corps and, as an active person, as in later years - until the end - always stood up for what, in his opinion, was the right thing for Franconia's politics, even if he occasionally served as important corps brothers and had to oppose the ruling majorities. "

After taking part in the First World War in the Guard Jäger battalion , he joined the internal administration of Prussia. He was Councilor at the Prefect of East Prussia .

From 1919 to 1921 he was a member of the provincial parliament of the province of East Prussia for the constituency of Königsberg 11 (Labiau) and the DNVP .

“He clung to the old Prussia with all his soul and never made a secret of his convictions, not even in times when it might seem inexpedient to some. So he was removed from his office as district administrator by the Prussian government at the time due to bad practices after the Kapp Putsch . The trust of the Prussian district administrators then appointed him [1921] as managing director of the newly founded Association of Prussian Districts. ”Under his leadership, the association gained enormous importance within a few years and developed into the German District Association . Constantin had to give up the office in 1926 for health reasons and died shortly before his 45th birthday.
