From 1860 to 1864 Großmann belonged to the Hamburg citizenship . On December 28, 1864, Großmann was elected to the Hamburg Senate for the resigned Senator Adolph Tesdorpf . Until he left the Senate, Großmann worked primarily as landlord of the territories of Marschlande and Bergedorf , and as second landlord for the Geestlande and Ritzebüttel . He was also sent by the Senate to the Council of Churches and the Synod . From the beginning of the 1880s, Großmann had largely lost interest in working in the Senate, "he usually only appeared on solemn occasions [in the Senate] and bored his colleagues with stories about the old days". Großmann's request for retirement for health reasons was granted by the Senate in November 1885. Hermann Schemmann was elected as his successor .

In the Ohlsdorf cemetery , one of the collective grave slabs of Senators (IV) from the Althamburg Memorial Cemetery commemorates Peter Heinrich Wilhelm Großmann, among others.
