- Manfred Freiherr von Killinger (July 14, 1886–September 2, 1944) was a German naval officer, Freikorps leader, military writer and Nazi politician. A veteran of World War I and member of the Marinebrigade Ehrhardt during the German Revolution, he took part in the violent intervention against the Bavarian Soviet Republic. After the Freikorps was disbanded, the antisemitic Killinger was active in the Germanenorden and Organisation Consul, masterminding the murder of Matthias Erzberger. He was subsequently a National Socialist German Workers Party representative in the Reichstag and a leader of the Sturmabteilung, before serving as Saxony's Minister-President and playing a part in implementing Nazi policies at a local level. Purged during the Night of the Long Knives, he was able to recover his status, and served as Nazi Germany's Consul in San Francisco between 1936 and 1939. As Ambassador to the Slovak Republic in 1940, he played a part in enforcing antisemitic legislation in that country. In early 1941, Killinger was appointed to a similar position in Romania, where he first became noting for supporting Ion Antonescu during the Legionary Rebellion. Together with his aide Gustav Richter, he attempted to gain Romania's participation in the German-led Final Solution, thus pressuring Romanian authorities to divert focus from their own mass murder of Jews. Killinger oversaw German presence in Romania until 1944, and was the target of a notorious 1943 pamphlet by writer Tudor Arghezi. He committed suicide in Bucharest, days after the August 23 coup toppled Antonescu.

- Manfred Freiherr von Killinger a fost un ofiţer de marină, istoric militar şi diplomat german. El a deţinut funcţia de ambasador al Germaniei naziste în România. S-a sinucis în Bucureşti. Biroul baronului von Killinger se găsea la sediul Legaţiei Germane din Bucureşti, în clădirea aflată azi la intersecţia dintre Calea Victoriei şi bulevardul Dacia (după 1989, fost sediu al Cazinoului „Victoria”, actualmente nelocuită). La momentul loviturii de stat de la 23 august 1944, von Killinger se găsea, împreună cu secretara sa, la vila acesteia de la Săftica. Acolo a primit veşti, la început contradictorii, despre cele întâmplate la Palatul Regal şi despre arestarea Mareşalului Antonescu. Se pare că, în confuzia creată de secretul loviturii, Eugen Cristescu şi generalul Constantin Tobescu, aflând de arestarea Mareşalului, s-au dus la sediul Legaţiei Germane pentru a anunţa acest lucru nemţilor.
