Military career
After studying at the university, Borcke went into the Prussian military service and rose there up to captain of the body regiment. In 1727 he became the guardian of Crown Prince Friedrich. When Friedrich II was crowned king in 1740, he took Borcke as colonel and adjutant general. He was entrusted with important matters which Borcke took care of to the satisfaction of the king. On June 27, 1742, he received the administration of Lehnin and in January 1744 an extraordinary pension of 1000 thalers. He was also promoted to major general in August 1744 (with a patent from November 23, 1743). In 1747 Borcke became seriously ill.
