Max Kämper (16 December 1879 in Jüterbog – 10 November 1916 in Sailly-Saillisel) was a German mining engineer.
His 1908 survey and map of Mammoth Cave, Kentucky, assisted by cave guide Ed Bishop,[1] represent the first accurate instrumental survey of portions of the cave system. Kämper arrived at Mammoth Cave in 1908 and left 8 months later in 1909.[2]
Kämper was killed in trench warfare at the Somme River in north-eastern France, on 10 November 1916, during the closing days of the Battle of the Somme. He is buried in the War Cemetery of Cambrai near Arras, France.
