He came from the noble family of Erdmannsdorf (f) and was the son of Carl Friedrich von Erdmannsdorf († September 12, 1777). Like his younger brother Heinrich Ludwig von Erdmannsdorf , Alexander Ferdinand also received his first training from a private tutor and then attended the pedagogy in Halle . Both pursued a forest career. It is reported from him that he was chamberlain at the court in Dresden from 1799 and later also chief forest and game master in Wittenberg . As such, he brought ideas of sustainability into his practical work and ensured systematic management of the forests to the left and right of the Elbe in the Wittenberg area.

As a chamberlain, Alexander Ferdinand von Erdmannsdorf acquired Johann Gottfried Steinkopf's manor Roitzsch on the 4th / 6th. December 1800. But already on August 15, 1801 he sold it on to the Stift-Merseburg Chamber of Commerce and Court Judge Carl Bernhard von Ende .

With the Congress of Vienna Wittenberg fell to the Kingdom of Prussia and Alexander Ferdinand von Erdmannsdorf became a Prussian forest clerk. In 1816 he was employed by the royal government in Aachen as head forester. However, it did not last long in his new place of work. He soon returned to the vicinity of Wittenberg. By marriage he had acquired the Hohenahlsdorf manor here in 1819 , where he lived with his family as a private citizen until his death.
