Max Ferdinand Bahrfeldt (German pronunciation: [ˈmaks ˈfɛʁdinant ˈbaːɐ̯fɛlt]), ennobled as von Bahrfeldt [fɔn ˈbaːɐ̯fɛlt] in 1913 (6 February 1856 – 11 April 1936), was a royal Prussian General of the Infantry, a local historian, and a numismatist of world renown. In the anglophone and francophone world, however, he was also notorious as the alleged perpetrator of atrocities in Charleroi, Belgium, during the German invasion of 1914.
