After studying at the Nienburg building trade school, Mackensen attended the Technical University of Hanover from 1892 to 1895 and studied there under Conrad Wilhelm Hase , Heinrich Köhler and Hubert Stier .

From 1896 he was a freelance architect in Hanover. Mainly there he built - in various architectural styles - mostly villas , residential and commercial buildings. He built these, among other things, in forms of the brick neo-Gothic , in the context of Expressionism and in the Heimatschutz style .
