In the war against France he was so badly wounded in the battle of Saint-Privat on August 18, 1870 that he was no longer fully usable. Awarded the Iron Cross 2nd class, he was ordered to serve at the Berlin District Command after his recovery on August 11, 1874. Schenck was granted the status of Prime Lieutenant on April 13, 1876, to leave with a pension and the prospect of employment in the civil service.

During the November Revolution of 1918, he was replaced by the Wiesbaden Workers 'and Soldiers' Council by Alexander Alberti , who actually held the office at the turn of 1918/19. After the revolution had subsided, Schenck was still in office, but was retired in 1919, which he spent in Potsdam, where he died in 1934 and was initially buried.
