Florian Maier-Aichen is a German landscape photographer who lives and works in Germany and the United States.
He creates work using a combination of computer editing and traditional photographic techniques. The photographer alters huge landscape compositions with a series of staged effects, such as double exposures and light leakage, as well as computer and manual adjustments. Maier-Aichen's almost painterly landscapes are reminiscent of early photography and German Romantic painting. Florian Maier-Aichen's romantic, intellectual and ethereal photographs are closer to the realm of drawing and fiction than to documentation.

Eucharius Rösslin the Elder or Eucharius Rößlin was a German medieval scholar, physician-midwife, and pharmacist.
In 1493 Eucharius became apothecary in Freiburg, and 13 years later was elected physician of the city of Frankfurt am Main. From there he moved to Worms, in the service of Katherine, Princess of Saxony and Duchess of Brunswick and Lüneburg. One of his duties was to oversee and supervise the city's midwives, whose ignorance led to a high infant and female mortality rate.
In order to remedy this, Eucharius wrote and published a book on midwifery called Der Rosengarten ("The Rose Garden for Pregnant Women and Midwives") in Strasbourg in 1513. It was in German and contained several engravings. The book proved very popular and soon became the standard medical textbook for midwives. For nearly two centuries it was the authoritative guide to midwifery in Europe, translated into seven languages and reprinted over a hundred times.
In 1517 Rösslin returned to work in Frankfurt and remained in that position until his death in 1526. His son, also named Eucharius Rösslin, succeeded him as city physician.
