Ferdinand Liebermann was a German sculptor.
Liebermann studied sculpture at the School of Arts and Crafts and at the Academy in Munich with Heinrich Wadere.

In 1926 he became professor of monumental and portrait sculpture in Munich.
Ferdinand Liebermann's works include numerous sculptures of buildings, monuments and fountains, and he was also one of the most important figure designers for the Rosenthal manufactory.
Adolphe Frey-Mook was a Swiss painter.
Albert Einstein was a German-born theoretical physicist, widely acknowledged to be one of the greatest and most influential physicists of all time. Einstein is best known for developing the theory of relativity, but he also made important contributions to the development of the theory of quantum mechanics. Relativity and quantum mechanics are together the two pillars of modern physics. His mass–energy equivalence formula E = mc2, which arises from relativity theory, has been dubbed "the world's most famous equation". His work is also known for its influence on the philosophy of science. He received the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics "for his services to theoretical physics, and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect", a pivotal step in the development of quantum theory. His intellectual achievements and originality resulted in "Einstein" becoming synonymous with "genius".
