Life
origin
He was the son of the manorial estate owner Wilhelm von Schenck (1815-1859) and his wife Ida, born von Grolmann (1815-1900). The Prussian nobility legitimation of the family dates from 1788. The later Prussian infantry general Dedo von Schenck (1853-1918) was his younger brother.
Career
Schenck first attended high school in Potsdam. Coming from the cadet corps, on April 7, 1868, he was referred to the Emperor Franz Garde Grenadier Regiment No. 2 of the Prussian Army as a characterized porter ensign. There he received the patent for his rank on April 8, 1869 and was promoted to Second Lieutenant on November 13, 1869 . 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.
He received brief training for civil administration and was subsequently employed as a manager in a number of administrations. First, Schenck was from March 17, 1878 bailiff in Königstein . From May 22nd to December 14th, 1881 he was the parish bailiff of Pinneberg . He then acted as chief magistrate in Gammertingen and came to Hechingen on June 16, 1883 in the same capacity . On March 27, 1884, he was appointed District Administrator in the Witzenhausen district until Schenck was finally appointed as a provisional officer on July 15, 1895, and finally as District Administrator of the Hanau District from February 10, 1896 .
On August 7, 1902, Schenck received his appointment as police chief of Wiesbaden . 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.
