In the reorganization of the See also:army, Wrangel became successively first lieutenant and See also:captain, and won distinction a.nd promotion to lieutenant-See also:colonel in the See also:War of Liberation in 1813, won the See also:Iron See also:Cross at Wachau near See also:Leipzig, and became colonel in 1815.

time onwards he was most prominent in connexion with the revival of the Prussian cavalry from the neglect and inefficiency into which it had fallen during the years of See also:peace and poverty after 1815. In 1856, having then seen sixty years' service, he was made a field marshal. At the See also:age of eighty he commanded the Austro-Prussian army in the war with See also:Denmark in 1864 and though he was too old for active See also:work, and often issued vague or impracticable orders (he himself had always desired that the See also:young and brilliant
Red See also:Prince," See also:Frederick See also:Charles, should have the command), the See also:prestige of his narne, and the actual See also:good work of Frederick Charles, See also:Moltke and See also:Vogel von Falckenstein among the Prussian, and of Gablenz among the See also:Austrian generals, -made the campaign a brilliant success. After the See also:capture of Dtippel he resigned the command, was created a count, and received other honours. In 1866 "Papa" Wrangel assisted in the Bohemian campaign, but without a command on See also:account of his See also:great age. He took a keen See also:interest in the second reorganization of the cavalry See also:arm 1866–1870, and in the war with See also:France in 1870-71. He died at Berlin on the 2nd of See also:November 1877.
