He was the son of the Bavarian customs collector Christoph Malaisé (1773-1852) and his wife Magdalena Stephani (1769-1821) from Mainz , who came from Saint-Menges near Sedan in France and fled from there during the revolution . The father initially served as a customs officer in the Palatinate town of Neuburg am Rhein , and from 1821 in Germersheim . His first wife died while moving to the fortress city. There he married the notary's daughter Dorothee Geiger from Lauterburg in 1822 .

Ferdinand von Malaisé had been married to Adelheid Wibmer, daughter of the Munich judicial officer Sebastian Alois Wibmer, since 1830. The couple had four sons and three daughters.

His grandson Karl Ferdinand von Malaisé (1868–1946) also embarked on a military career, was most recently commander of the 1st Field Artillery Brigade and was dismissed as major general.

Military career

Growing up in Neuburg am Rhein, Malaisé left his family in 1822 and joined the Bavarian artillery regiment as a cadet , which garrisoned in Landau . In 1827 he became a sub-lieutenant , from 1833 a mathematics teacher at the Munich Cadet Corps . In 1838 he was promoted to first lieutenant and in 1845 to captain .

From 1852 to 1863 Malaisé worked in the house of Prince Luitpold as a teacher and educator of his sons Ludwig and Leopold , from 1855 supported by the officer Heinrich von Vallade (1830–1870), younger brother of the Speyer clergyman Joseph Max von Vallade (1825–1882) . 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 . In the German War of 1866 Malaisé was promoted to major general and he worked as a representative of Bavaria in the Austrian headquarters of Commander-in-Chief Ludwig von Benedek . Here he received the Order of the Iron Crown 2nd class with war decoration. During the Franco-Prussian War of 1870/71 he commanded the 1st Field Artillery Brigade in the 1st Army Corps under General Ludwig von der Thann .

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 .
