Max Bohatsch was an Austrian figure skater. He was the 1905 European champion and a three-time World medalist, winning silver in 1905 and 1907, and bronze in 1903. He won the Austrian Championships three times, in 1901, 1904, and 1905. He came in second place at the 1904 European Championships.[1][2]

Figure skating historian James R. Hines reports that Irving Brokaw, in his 1910 book The Art of Skating (1910), describes "a slightly simplified version" of the ten-step ice dance, which Brokaw calls "the Bohastsch march".[2]
