In September 1848, as elected Vice President, he was one of the founding members of the Hamburg Cigar Workers Association and was its president from 1849/50.
Sternberg had already tried to merge the Cigar Workers Association with the German Workers' Brotherhood under the direction of Stephan Born . In 1849 he attended the second congress of German cigar workers in Leipzig , which decided to include the Hamburg Association in the Association of Tobacco Workers in Germany. From 1850 until the ban in June 1851, Sternberg took over the office of president of the Hamburg district committee. In June 1852 he was elected vice-president of the Hamburg workers' education association . According to an instruction from Berlin , the police interrogated Sternberg seven weeks later for allegedly collecting money for political refugees. His apartment and the club's building were searched for this reason. Even though the events did not result in any further consequences for him, Sternberg only remained club president until 1853. Then he concentrated on his professional advancement as an independent cigar manufacturer.
Sternberg, who belonged to the Jewish community in Hamburg , married in 1854. In 1858 he acquired Hamburg citizenship .
