Kurt Christoph Graf von Schwerin


 

Kurt Christoph Graf von Schwerin (26 October 1684 in Löwitz, Pomerania - 6 May 1757 near Prague) was a Prussian generalfeldmarschall, one of the leading commanders under Frederick the Great.

Commemorations

Frederick erected a statue on the Wilhelmplatz (today: part of Wilhelmstrasse) to his foremost soldier, and a monument on the field of Prague commemorates the place where he fell. Since 1889 the 14th (3rd Pomeranians) Infantry of the German army has borne his name.
