Life
Stavenhagen was the son of the lawyer and librarian Ulrich Gotthard and Juliana Kupffer.
He attended the Academy of Arts in St. Petersburg in 1834 , but had to interrupt his training due to illness. After a stay in Germany in 1846, Stavenhagen became a student of Eduard Schmidt von der Launitz . This recommended him to the Academy of the Arts in Munich , where he studied from 1847 to 1849.
From 1850 Stavenhagen worked as a sculptor in Mitau, drew city and country views in the Baltic Sea provinces , married Anna von Bordelius in 1866 and finally lived in Goldingen from 1873. Some portrait busts of him are also known.
