The 41st Panzergrenadier Brigade is a brigade of the German Army.

On April 1, 1991 the 41st Homeland Security Brigade was established at Eggesin in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, from the former Land Forces of the National People's Army 9th Panzer Division. On 27 June 1991 the "Vorpommern" title was awarded. In 1995, it was reclassified as Mechanized Infantry Brigade 41. After the installation of the brigade staff in 2002, the headquarters company and Armored Battalion 413 moved to the Ferdinand von Schill barracks in Torgelow.

From 1991 to 2006, the 414 Panzer Battalion was active at Spechtberg.
