General Albert von Mischke
was the director of Prussia's military academies and adjutant general to the ill-fated Kaiser Friedrich III.  Albert was commissioned on 1 April 1848 as a Sekonde-Lieutenant in 5. Infanterie-Regiment. He saw action during the Austro-Prussian War of 1866 (Deutscher Krieg) as an adjutant in the Crown Prince's (future Kaiser Friedrich III.) Second Army headquarters. Prior to the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-71 (Deutsch-Französischer Krieg), Mischke was selected to function as the Crown Prince's personal assistant and as such was a participant in all the major battles, including Sedan and the Siege of Paris.

After the war in France, Mischke continued serving with the Crown Prince in 1878 as his chief of staff at Fourth Army Inspectorate headquarters. After promotion to General-Lieutenant on 1 June 1885, Mischke was selected to serve as
Inspector of Prussia's military academies (Kriegsschulen). With Kaiser Friedrich III. taking the throne in March 1888, Mischke was brought into court as one of the Kaiser's adjutant generals while simultaneously elevated into the Prussian nobility. Following Friedrich III.'s death in June 1888, von Mischke remained on active duty for another year and retired with the brevet rank of General der Infanterie.
