Malte Friedrich was the eldest son of Moritz Ulrich (1699–1769), Count and Lord zu Putbus , Freiherr zu Einsidelsborg and Kjørup ( Kørup ), and Christina Wilhelmina, Imperial Countess zu Lynar (1704–1752), daughter of Friedrich Casimir zu Lynar . Together with his brother Anselm Carl (1727–1795) and accompanied by the tutor Ehrenreich Christoph Koch , he studied at the University of Greifswald until 1743 . The three lived in the house of the lawyer Augustin Balthasar . During this time, at the age of 15, he was elected President of the German Society of Greifswald founded by Balthasar and others .

In 1754 his father handed over the indebted Putbus rule to him. With the mediation of the Wismar Tribunal , Malte Friedrich reached a settlement with his father's creditors in December 1755. As a “strict steward”, as Ernst Moritz Arndt called him, whose parents were the count's serfs, he tried to get the property off the ground. With the permission of the Danish king, he sold the Danish properties in Einsidelsborg and Kjørup in 1780. In the Putbus reign he founded a Fideikommiss with Majorat .

Malte Friedrich became royal Swedish court marshal in 1763. After the death of his father in 1769, he was given the office of Hereditary Marshal of Swedish Pomerania and Rügen. In 1772 he became president of the court in Greifswald and was a member of the Swedish government in Pomerania .

At the age of three, Malte Friedrich became a Knight of the Order of St. John. He was also a Knight of the North Star Order and received the Commander's Cross in 1778.
