After graduating from university, he entered the Danish civil service as secretary of the embassy and in this position between 1810-1814 was in Stockholm , Vienna , Paris , and the summer of 1813, for his sympathy for the Germans, he spent in the Friedrichsort fortress.
Later, he took a long journey to Italy , France and Greece , and since 1827 he lived mostly in Dresden, where he participated in translating the works of Shakespeare into German, undertaken by Schlegel and Tick . Baudissin also translated four Shakespeare's teenage works published by Tick: Eduard III , Thomas Cromwell, Oldcastle, and Der Londoner Verschwender (Stuttgart, 1836).
On his own, Baudissin published a series of translations of the old English dramas under the name "Ben Ionson und seine Schule" (2 volumes, Leipzig, 1836).
