Alexander zu Dohna was born at the Palace of Coppet near Geneva to Friedrich von Dohna (1621 1688), Governor of the Principality of Orange, and Sperentia née du Puy Montbrun. He and his brother Christoph I. zu Dohna-Schlodien were educated by Pierre Bayle. Dohna joined the Prussian Army in 1679 and became an Amtshauptmann of Mohrungen and Liebstadt in East Prussia. He was promoted to an Oberst and Geheimer Rat on 31 December 1686 and served as an envoy of Friedrich III., elector of Brandenburg at the Polish Royal Court. In 1689/90 he fought against France in the Nine Years' War and was wounded in a battle at Bonn on 10 October 1689. Dohna became a major general on 9 October 1690 and Commander of an Infantry Regiment, which was named after him.
