He was drafted into the Danish military and stationed in Altona in 1815 due to the Napoleonic wars, during which he was wounded.[1]
In 1825, Witten purchased empty land in Northern Germany, which later became known as Büchsenschinken, and was granted permission by the office of Reinbek to build a timber-framed house, which also acted as a farm, during the same year.[1][3][4] A few years later, he was granted permission to distribute alcohol at his property. At that point, his property had become a stop along the route from Hamburg to Mölln, and the inn, Gasthof Büchsenschinken, was established by his son Heinrich-Otto Witten. The inn was in operation until 2005, and was demolished in 2008.[1][2][3]
