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.
