Georg Dubislav Ludwig von Pirch (13 December 1763 – 3 April 1838) was a Prussian lieutenant general who fought in the Napoleonic Wars, participating in the battles of Leipzig and Waterloo.
Serving under the Army of Bohemia, he fought in the battles of Lützen, Bautzen, Dresden, and Kulm, earning promotion to the rank of Major General and both classes of the Iron Cross.
[3] In May 1815 General Karl Ludwig von Borstell, commander of the Prussian II Corps, was sent home after protesting against the rough treatment of revolting Saxon units.
[1] After the battle Pirch was tasked with stopping the retreat of Grouchy's force at Wavre, but his assault on Namur failed due to the exhaustion of his troops and lack of reconnaissance.
[2] Prussian general August von Nostitz characterized Pirch as a leader better suited for lower level commands, where he would properly carry out his orders, and would not be required to act independently taking into account circumstances and greater goals.
