Meyenborg initially worked in the mercantile business, but he later studied law under John H. Kemble[3] and Judge Lynch. He was admitted to the bar in 1877. At one point, he worked in the office of the Board of Tax Commissioners in Manhattan.[4]
In 1877, Meyenborg was elected to the New York State Assembly as a Democrat, representing the Kings County 2nd District. He served in the Assembly in 1878.[1] He then served as Supervisor-at-Large of the county from 1880 to 1881. He was Counsel to the Kings County Board of Supervisors from 1882 to 1883 and from 1886 to 1893. He was a delegate to the 1894 New York State Constitutional Convention.[3]
In 1866, Meyenborg joined the militia organization Ringgold Horse Guards. Five years later, he became Major of the 15th Battalion of the New York National Guard, a largely German battalion. He later became lieutenant colonel and resigned his commission in 1881. He was on the board of examiners of the Fifth Brigade for five years.[4]
