Prince Heinrich of Bavaria (24 June 1884 – 8 November 1916) was a member of the Bavarian Royal House of Wittelsbach and a highly decorated Army officer in the First World War.

The elder Himmler was an ardent royalist who, following the birth of his second son, petitioned the prince to allow him to be named after him - Heinrich.

After the outbreak of World War I, the regiment saw action on the Western front, where Prince Heinrich was badly wounded.

On 7 November 1916, during operations in the area near Poiana Spinului, while conducting a personal reconnaissance of the front line, he was shot and killed by Romanian soldiers.

"[4] Heinrich's body was transported back to Munich, where he was buried by his father's side at the Theatinerkirche.
