When the Danish Auxiliary Corps returned to Denmark in 1689, Hohendorff was made colonel of the Norwegian "Smålenske Regiment" with headquarters at Fredrikstad. Yet, already next year he became colonel of the Marine Regiment at Copenhagen. When the Swedish army landed at Humlebæk in 1700, Hohendorff was in command of the force sent to prevent the landing operation, but it was called back before reaching the coast. Hohendorff was promoted to brigadier in 1703, becoming commandant of Rendsborg in 1707. The following year he was sent to Flanders as a major-general in the Danish Auxiliary Corps in Anglo-Dutch service; honourable participating in the battles of Oudenarde and Malplaquet, and the siege of Lille. Called back to Denmark in 1711, Hohendorff was promoted lieutenant-general the following year when the Danish Army was reorganized. Yet again commandant of Rendsborg, he led the center of the Danish army at the battle of Gadebusch 1712, and participated in the sieges of Tönning, Hamburg, and Wismar. After resigning from the army in 1714, Hohendorff lived in Hamburg until his death.
