The Panzer Division Jüterbog was an armoured division of the Wehrmacht during World War II. Created on 20 February 1945, it was active for a short period of time.
The division was created on 20 February 1945 at the Jüterbog training area. On February 26, 1945, it was ordered to head to the city of Bautzen to give its elements to the 16th Panzer Division which at that time was no more than a Kampfgruppe (‘’Battle Group’’). From 28 February to 5 March 1945, the division was commanded by Generalmajor Dietrich von Müller. At the beginning of March 1945 the Jüterbog Division was dissolved.
