He obtained a position in forest service in Württemberg. In 1825 he married Louise Lochner (1804-1889) from Freudenstadt. In 1845 he was named Freiherr by king Wilhelm I of Württemberg. After he retired he lived in Stuttgart, where he died in 1857. On 3 March 2008 his remais were exhumed. His DNA was used to investigate if the skull in Weimar was his father's.
