The 150th Field Training Division was a German infantry division during World War II .

Like its sister division , the 149th Field Training Division , the division was set up on March 12, 1945 as a field training division for Commander-in-Chief West on the Lower Rhine from Wehrkreis VI .

By the end of March, three field training battalions and one engineer battalion had been set up. The Commander-in-Chief West proposed the use of units from the garrisons on the Rhine and assigned six battalions. The division no longer received artillery. The formation and training of the division, which was still assigned to Commander-in-Chief West, was no longer completed before the end of the war in May 1945.

The commanding officer was Lieutenant General Wolfgang Lange .
