Ludwig Thoma

Ludwig Thoma , 1867-1921, German novelist, dramatist, and poet. Thoma satirized Bavarian rural and small-town life. His serious peasant novels Andreas Vöst (1905), Der Wittiber (1911), and Der Ruepp (1922), as well as his humorous collections Assessor Karlchen (1900), Lausbubengeschichten [rascal stories] (1904), and Tante Frieda [Aunt Frieda] (1906), are characterized by authenticity of regional language and life. Thoma's dramas, including Die Medaille [the medal] (1901), Das Säuglingsheim [the orphanage] (1913), and especially Moral (1908), reflect elements of folk theater.

Helmholtz, Hermann Ludwig Ferdinand von (1821–94) German anatomist, physicist, and physiologist. He made contributions in acoustics and optics, expanding Thomas Young's three-colour theory of vision.
