Born into an aristocratic Prussian family with a tradition of military service, he was the son of the Prussian Lieutenant General Friedrich Wilhelm von Rauch (1790-1850), military attache in St Petersburg and adjutant general to King Frederick William IV of Prussia, and his wife Laurette, née Countess von Moltke.

In 1851 he married Elisabeth, née Countess von Brühl, lady-in-waiting to Queen consort Elisabeth Ludovika of Prussia. Elisabeth von Brühl was daughter of Count Carl von Brühl, Superintendent general of the Prussian royal theatres, and great-granddaughter of Count Heinrich von Brühl, statesman at the court of Saxony and the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth.
