Hugo Phillip Graf von Lerchenfeld auf Köfering und Schönberg (13 October 1843 in Berlin - 28 June 1925 in Köfering) was the representative of the Kingdom of Bavaria in Berlin from 1880 to 1918 [ [http://www.saur.de/dbe/pdf/Aufge_Pers_L.pdf K.G. Saur Verlag website] (in German)] .

Due to the dual nature of the King of Prussia also being the German Emperor in those years, in practice he functioned as the Bavarian representative to the national German government. He also served in this time as one of the six Bavarian delegates to the "Bundesrat", the second chamber of the national parliament [ [http://www.historisches-lexikon-bayerns.de/artikel/artikel_44504?pdf=true Gesandtschaften in der Zeit des Kaiserreichs (1871-1918)] (in German)] .
