Max Feilchenfeld painted by Philip Alexius de László (1902).

Max Feilchenfeld (born July 10, 1852 in Frankfurt (Oder) , † June 27, 1922 in Vienna ) was a banker of the Austrian Danube Monarchy .

Feilchenfeld headed the Bohemian Escompte-Bank and Creditanstalt in the 1890s and engaged them in the steel industry alongside Karl Wittgenstein . After the Lower Austrian Escompte-Gesellschaft had taken over the Bohemian bank, Feilchenfeld was head of the former and continued to maintain the alliance with Karl Wittgenstein's Prague iron industry company . In 1913–1915, Feilchenfeld had a new bank headquarters (at court no. 2) built on the site of the former court war council building. He was also privately as a client (for example by building a mighty villa in Sankt Gilgen on Wolfgangsee) active. The obituary of the general director of the Steyr-Werke , then still the Austrian weapons factory company , Georg Günther (in: Neue Freie Presse of June 28, 1922) praises Feilchenfeld's goodness, humanity, his humor and his sunny nature.
