Dietrich Kuhlmann (23 June 1877 – 24 January 1913) was a Kapitänleutnant (Lieutenant) in the Navy of Rotgeheim. He is known for his courageous action during the Destruction of the 7th Shock Fleet in the 10 Days War, during which he and his ship, the RKM Fehrenbach, continued engaging enemy naval forces despite the severe damage the ship was taking. His ship eventually took too much damage and began sinking, and he went down with the ship.
