First Foot Guard Regiment and Military Governor of William II's sons

After graduating from the Lyceum II in Hanover, Rauch joined the 1st Foot Guard Regiment  in Potsdam in 1887 - as did his father in 1847 and his younger brother, later Colonel Leopold von Rauch (1876–1955), in 1894. In 1888 he was promoted to ensign, in 1889 to Second Lieutenant. In 1892 Rauch became adjutant of the 1st Battalion.

In 1894 Emperor William II and Empress Augusta Victoria  chose Rauch as the Second Military Governor and educator of Crown Prince William, as well as of his two younger brothers Prince Eitel Friedrich and Adalbert  for their training in the Princes´House on Ploen Princes' Island in Schleswig-Holstein. In 1896 Rauch was promoted to First Lieutenant, leaving  in his command and in the position à la suite of the 1st Foot Guard Regiment. In 1898 the imperial couple chose Rauch as the First Military Governor of their younger sons, Prince August Wilhelm and Prince Oskar.

In 1899 Rauch accompanied the Empress and her two youngest sons on their journey through the High Tauern and Berchtesgaden Alps. After returning from Austria, Rauch died in August 1899 in the Imperial Castle Wilhelmshöhe near Kassel of pneumonia.

His successor as First Military Governor was Lieutenant (Imperial Navy) Oskar Graf von Platen-Hallermund, Wing Adjutant of the Emperor, later Vice Admiral and longtime Court Marshal of Wilhelm II from 1911 to 1935.
