Prale first completed an apprenticeship as a carpenter and attended the construction school in Hamburg . From 1870 to 1873 he studied at the Polytechnic School in Hanover , the forerunner of the Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz University of Hanover . There he was a student of Conrad Wilhelm Hase . From then on, Prale devoted himself mainly to the neo-Gothic style of the Hanover School . From 1874 to 1878 he worked in the architectural office of Gotthilf Ludwig Möckel in Dresden . During this four-year period, Prale took over the construction management for the construction of the St. John's Church according to Möckel's neo-Gothic plans. The church, the first work in which Prale was apparently involved, was badly damaged during the air raids on Dresden in World War II and completely demolished in the 1950s.

From 1878 to 1880 Prale worked for Johannes Otzen's architecture office in Berlin . Otzen was also a student of Hase and planned various houses in Flensburg, for example the Hansen merchant house in 1868/69. In 1877 Otzen was commissioned to restore the church tower of St. Nikolai , Flensburg, which had been destroyed by lightning , in the neo-Gothic style, and a year later, he was also commissioned to redesign the church tower of St. Marien in Flensburg in the neo-Gothic style. Since Otzen was employed elsewhere, Prale acted as site manager for him on these two projects.

In 1880 Prale founded his own architecture office in Flensburg. Prale became a church architect and designer of upper-class villas . He mainly designed buildings for the Flensburg area. In 1883/84, Schöneck Castle was built in Flensburg according to his plans , a villa in the form of a castle , which he was allowed to expand and rebuild in the years that followed. In 1886 he built the Villa Besenbruch , which today serves as the Flensburg registry office . In 1893/94, Prale again implemented Otzen's renovation plans for the Nikolaikirche. In 1897, Prale was also responsible for the renovation of the former Rasch Hotel at Grosse Strasse 56 in Flensburg. Rasch's Hotel was the most successful hotel in town for many years, but was then ultimately transformed by Prale into a commercial building with shop windows. A whole Prale building ensemble for living and business space was built between 1899 and 1901 below the Nordermarkt on the south side of Schiffbrückstrasse . In 1903 the Bismarck Tower on the Scheersberg near Quern was completed according to his plans. In 1899, Prale presented drafts for the St. Jürgen Church planned in Flensburg . However, his plans were not realized. From 1904 to 1907, however, Prale took over the local construction management for the architect Oskar Hossfeld for the construction of St. Jürgen's Church in Flensburg . In 1905, the three-storey residential and commercial building on Marienstraße 61 was built by Karl Bernt on the upper Marienstrasse ("Kuhgangsplatz") . For the building in question, he used plans by Prale, which he modernized and thus largely changed with new stylistic elements. Bernt's newly designed facade consists of a mixture of Art Nouveau and country style elements . Bernt only took over the spatial division of the building from Prale. Prale's draft plans from 1907 for the construction of the St. Petri Church were also not implemented. Instead, the design by the architect Peter Jürgensen from Berlin was implemented .
