By 1848 he had been promoted to Major General. The same year, the First Schleswig War broke out. Schleppegrell excelled in the battles of Nybøl, Dybbøl and Fredericia, but fell on 25 July 1850 following the battle of Isted. He was buried in Flensborg. The memorial Isted Lion is partly dedicated to Schleppegrell.
