After that he was first chamberlain from Brandenburg . Emperor Ferdinand III. elevated him to the status of imperial baron in 1644 . Thereupon he accepted the position of a secret councilor of Electoral Saxony .

His first marriage in 1645 was Freiin Erdmuthe von Promnitz († 1650), daughter of Bailiff Siegfried von Promnitz († 1654), his predecessor in office. After her death, Schulenburg married Countess Eleonore Magdalene von Solms (1632–1669), the sister of Sophie Marie von Brandenburg-Kulmbach (1626–1688), in 1651 .
