He held his first parish position from 1827 to 1849 as a pastor in Rothenburg , then until 1861 he worked as chief preacher at the Löbejun town church St. Petri.
In 1825 he was accepted into the Masonic lodge to the three swords in Halle.
Ferdinand Wilcke was married to Auguste Friedrich (1810–1885) from Schönebeck from 1831 . The couple had four sons, of whom the son Waldemar Wilcke also became a pastor. Wilcke died in Halle and was buried in the cemetery in Löbejün.
