At that time nobody suspected that Prince Luitpold would once be the regent of the country and his son as Ludwig III. whose king should be.
In 1862 Malaisé received the Knight's Cross of the Order of Merit of the Bavarian Crown . This involved the award of personal nobility and he was allowed after entry into the Adelsmatrikel Knights of malaise call. In 1864 he became the commander of the cadet corps and head of the Munich artillery and genius school .

As early as 1842, Malaisé had published a mathematical textbook with the title: “Theoretical-practical teaching in arithmetic: initially for the lower classes of the regimental schools of the Königl. Bayer. Infantry and Cavalry and for the use of those who want to learn about the reasons for arithmetic ” . According to the title page of the 3rd edition of this book (1863), Malaisé was also a knight of the Grand Ducal Tuscan Order of St. Joseph , which required a commitment to the Catholic faith as a condition of award.
In 1887 the deserving general was raised to hereditary nobility. Malaisé found his final resting place in the Old Southern Cemetery in Munich .
