Alexander von Waldow completed an architecture degree ( graduate engineer ) and worked for many years as a professor of architecture. After the death of his father in early 1945, who died in the course of the occupation of Pomerania by the Red Army , he and his brother Eberhard von Waldow heir to the Mehrenthin ( Mierzęcin ) Castle , which had been in the family since 1721.

Since then he has been campaigning for possible restitution claims with publicity . He and other plaintiffs filed individual complaints before the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) on the basis of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). Although this was declared inadmissible in October 2008, the events led to considerable differences within the von Waldow family (see open letter from the brother and theology professor Eberhard von Waldow, who lives in the USA, "Lang healed. Palac Mierzecin" in the Frankfurter Rundschau from 6 May 2004) and between the German and Polish sides up to the government level.

Von Waldow was also state chairman Schleswig-Holstein of the small party Aufbruch 94 - German Free Electoral Association , President of the Federation of Family Associations and branch manager of the Federation of Expellees. He is Honorary President of the Association of Property Owners East and from 2005 to 2014 Honorary Chairman of the German Social Union (DSU). Before that he was Deputy Federal Chairman of the DSU.
