As a representative of Württemberg, he took part in the first statistical congresses, which were held in Brussels and Paris . His writings were published in the Württemberg yearbooks for patriotic history ; he often illustrated them with maps from which a kind of statistical atlas of Württemberg eventually developed. A necrology appeared on him in the Swabian Chronicle . His biographer Eberhard Emil von Georgii-Georgenau emphasized: “His rich mind, his sense of beauty did not freeze under the often dead and tiring series of numbers between which the statistician's eye often has to linger with so much self-denial. His house, like his heart, was always open to friends, for whom he shied no sacrifice. "

Paul von Sick married the widowed Philippine Therese Honorate von Hövel, born in 1849. from Huber-Liebenau. She had three children from her first marriage.
