He established his workshop in Ruppin in 1740 after training under the renowned organ builder Joachim Wagner. Scholtze's work is characterized by the precision and quality he inherited from his mentor, and he is considered one of the leading organ builders in the Mark Brandenburg region, alongside Ernst Julius Marx and Johann Wilhelm Grüneberg.

Over his career, Scholtze constructed at least 32 new organs, which solidified his reputation. Among his significant works is the organ for the Pfarrkirche in Küstrin, reflecting his status as a key figure in the organ-building traditions of his time. His contributions helped shape the musical landscape of the region, making his organs notable for their craftsmanship and enduring historical value.
