The father of Philipp Bartels, Philipp Barthels sen. (1794–1874), came to Barmen from Krefeld at the beginning of the 19th century . In 1829 he founded the Barthels-Feldhoff company , a factory for cotton knitting and sewing threads. Barthels joined his father's company in 1862 as a partner, and in 1877 he became the sole owner.

Barthels devoted himself to poor relief in Barmen and became deputy chairman of the poor administration. Later he was a member of the city council and from 1894 to 1906 a member of the provincial parliament of the Rhine Province as a member for Barmen . In 1871 he was elected to the newly established Chamber of Commerce in Barmen as a representative of knitting, sewing and iron thread production .

In the function of the President of the Chamber of Commerce, he was a member of the District Railway Council and the committee of the German Trade Convention , which elected him to the board in 1906. Barthels founded the association for the promotion of the textile industry.
