Prince Franz of Bavaria (German: Franz Maria Luitpold Prinz von Bayern; 10 October 1875 – 25 January 1957) was a German prince of the House of Wittelsbach and a career military officer. He served in the Bavarian Army, attaining the rank of Major General. As a member of the Bavarian royal family, Prince Franz belonged to one of Europe’s oldest ruling dynasties. His military career reflected the close association between the House of Wittelsbach and the Bavarian armed forces during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
