His military career began in 1866 and he was soon in action during the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-71. From 1887 through 1889, Göringer functioned as Chief of Staff at II. Bayerisches Armeekorps Headquarters in Würzburg. He later commanded at the regiment and division level before being released from active duty in May 1903. During the War, he was Acting Commander at 9th Brigade Headquarters in Nürnberg and was brevetted as a Generalleutnant in 1917. His younger brother Alfred Ritter von Göringer (1856-1932) served in the Bavarian Army as well, reaching the brevet rank of General der Infanterie.
