General Friedrich Wilhelm von Hohenlohe-Ingelfingen served as a Prussian cavalry officer and long-standing adjutant general to Kaiser Wilhelm I. Friedrich Wilhelm began his soldiering career in 1845 with the 1. Garde-Ulanen-Regiment in Potsdam. He was transferred to duty with Regiment Gardes du Corps in 1862 and was selected in 1864 to be aide-de-camp to King Wilhelm I. He took part in the Austro-Prussian War of 1866 (Deutscher Krieg), where he saw action at Münchengrätz and Königgrätz.

During the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-71, Oberst Friedrich Wilhelm was engaged in most of the major battles and was awarded with the Iron Cross Second Class. He was assigned to command 2. Garde-Cavallerie-Brigade immediately following the war, and was selected as General à la Suite in Wilhelm I.'s entourage. Friedrich Wilhelm retired from active duty (zur Disposition) in 1873 and remained with the title General à la Suite. He was promoted to Generaladjutant with the brevet rank of General-Lieutenant on 21 November 1876, later receiving his patent on 11 June 1879. His final promotion was to brevet General der Cavallerie on 18 September 1886.  Friedrich Wilhelm's brother Kraft was also a Prussian adjutant general, and their father General Adolf Prinz zu Hohenlohe-Ingelfingen served as Prussian Minister President in 1862.
