Busso VII von Alvensleben

1441–1495) was the Burgherr (Lord) of Kalbe, Chief Marshall and Stadtholder of Mark Brandenburg, and Landeshauptmann of Altmark.

In 1470, following the abdication of Frederick II, he served as Stadtholder until the new Elector, Albrecht Achilles, who lived at Plassenburg in Kulmbach, was able to come to Brandenburg to take office.

In 1476, he served as a Field Captain in the "Glogau-Crossen’schen War", a dispute with the Duchy of Glogau over their line of succession when the Piast Dynasty became extinct.

Three years later, as a reward, he and his family were presented with the enfeoffment of the lands around Burg Kalbe [de], which was made hereditary.

It was sculpted by Albert Manthe, based on the combined facial features of three other members of the Alvensleben family.
