Otto Freiherr von Brandenstein (21 October 1865 – 8 May 1945) was a German officer.[1] He joined the Prussian Army in 1885 and was promoted to Oberstleutnant in 1913. During World War I, Brandenstein served in the Western Front as a staff officer under the command of the generals Gustav Freiherr von Hollen and Eberhard von Claer.[2]
In 1918, Colonel Brandenstein was the commander of the brigade-sized cavalry unit Detachment Brandenstein which landed in Loviisa, Finland on 3 April. The detachment served in the Finnish Civil War and fought on the side of the Finnish Whites.[2] After the Battle of Lahti, the unit was attached to the Baltic Sea Division.
Brandenstein was awarded the Pour le Mérite on 15 May 1918 and promoted to Major General on 18 October 1918. He resigned from the German Army in February 1919. On 8 May 1945, Brandenstein and his secretary were shot and killed by Soviet troops.[2]
