Prussian count Dohna-Schlobitten began his active military service as a Portepée-Fähnrich (officer's candidate) in 1798 in Königsberg, East Prussia. He proved himself to be one of Scharnhorst's most promising students. Later, as a professional soldier, Graf zu Dohna-Schlobitten saw action at Eylau while serving on General L'Estorcq's staff. He was wounded and spent time as a prisoner of war in France. He subsequently distinguished himself while serving on Scharnhorst's general staff and was thus awarded the Pour le Merite in 1807. 

The count married General von Scharnhorst's daughter Julie and then served with Clausewitz in Russia. Dohna-Schlobitten was also engaged at the Battle of Waterloo as an Oberst and was promoted Generalmajor in 1822. In 1839, King of Prussia Friedrich Wilhelm II. appointed him as commanding general of II. Armee-Korps in Stettin. Graf zu Dohna-Schlobitten also commanded I. Armee-Korps and in 1850 was awarded Prussia's highest order of chivalry, the Schwarzer Adler-Orden (Order of the Black Eagle.)  He declined the appointment as Minister President and retired in 1854 with the brevet rank of Generalfeldmarschall.
