place of birth:  Spandau
Königreich Preußen:  Stellv KG,  Generaladjutant SM,  General der Infanterie z.D.


Prussian General Alfred von Loewenfeld served during the pre-War period as Wilhelm II's Adjutant General. During the Great War, von Loewenfeld held the posting the Guard Corps local commanding officer in Berlin.

Alfred was born into the family of Prussian general Julius von Loewenfeld and Karoline Freiin Schilling von Cannstatt. His older brother Julius also served as a Generalmajor in the Prussian Army. Alfred remained unmarried throughout his lifetime.  He entered military service just prior to the Franco-Prussian War, where he was wounded during the Battle of Gravelotte in August 1870. He remained with his Foot Guards Regiment after the war and enjoyed a relatively privileged career path. Loewenfeld ultimately received the opportunity to serve within the Prussian War Ministry, first as Minister Bronsart von Schellendorff's adjutant, and then later as a ministry department chief.

In 1904, when newly-promoted Generalleutnant von Loewenfeld replaced Helmuth von Moltke as commander 1. Guard Infantry Division, he was simultaneously brought in to Kaiser Wilhelm II's entourage as His Majesty Wilhelm II's Adjutant General. He later served as commanding general of the X. Armee-Korps in Hannover and subsequently the Garde-Korps in Berlin. He was placed on inactive duty status in 1913 but reactivated at mobilization in order to command Garde-Korps headquarters during the War.
