The year 1906 passed largely uneventfully for "Frauenlob". She took part in a large naval review held in September after the end of the autumn fleet maneuvers; the review was held for "Grossadmiral" (Grand Admiral) Hans von Koester, who was retiring at the end of the year. "Frauenlob" won Kaiser Wilhelm II's "Schiesspreis" (Shooting Prize) for excellent gunnery during that year's maneuvers; up to this time, he had previously only awarded one to each of the fleet's battleship squadrons. During torpedo practice, she accidentally torpedoed and sank her own steam pinnace. In addition to the year's training activities, "Frauenlob" conducted a training cruise to familiarize navigation officers with the narrow waterways of the Danish straits in 1907. She also won the "Schiesspreis" for cruisers again that year. In October, "KK" Friedrich Boedicker replaced Mischke as the ship's captain. By 1908, she was the only member of her class still in active service, and on 19 January she, too, was decommissioned in Wilhelsmhaven. She spent the next six years in reserve, though beginning in mid-1912, she was thoroughly overhauled and four of her 10.4 cm guns were removed to install ten guns for training purposes, though she was not activated for this role.
