----------

Freiherr, a German aristocratic title, is equivalent to a Baron in other countries and the origin of Richthofen's most famous nickname: "The Red Baron". Richthofen is today known under this nickname even in Germany, although during his lifetime he was more often described in German as Der Rote Kampfflieger. This name was used as the title of Richthofen's 1917 autobiography. Richthofen's other nicknames include "le Diable Rouge" or "Le Petit Rouge" in French, and the "Red Knight" in English.

Richthofen was buried in the cemetery at the village of Bertangles, near Amiens, on 22 April 1918. In 1925, Manfred von Richthofen's youngest brother, Bolko, recovered the body and took it home. German authorities expressed a wish that the final place of rest for the body to be interred at the Invalidenfriedhof Cemetery in Berlin, where many German military heroes and leaders were buried. The family agreed, and Richthofen's grave remained in Berlin until 1975, when his body was exhumed and buried in his family’s tomb at the Südfriedhof in Wiesbaden.
