Meno Burg (9 October 1789 – 26 August 1853), also referred to as Judenmajor (Jew major), was a Prussian field officer.
Burg reached the highest rank ever attained by a Jew in the Prussian Army of the 19th century.
However, his military career is also an example of the discrimination which was suffered by Jews who served the Prussian government.
