Leonhart Fuchs was a German humanist scientist, botanist, and physician.
Fuchs received a humanistic education under Catholic guidance, but later became a Protestant. He studied medicine and became a professor in Tübingen. He was most interested in the medicinal properties of plants. Well acquainted with the Greek and Latin classics and an excellent observer, he gave precise descriptions, and his beautiful engravings of plants established the tradition of depicting plants with precise illustrations and in alphabetical order.
In 1542 Fuchs published his most important work, De Historia Stirpium Commentarii Insignes (Famous Commentaries on the History of Plants). The book was a great success, especially because of the magnificent woodcuts and the 487 plants, which were described for the first time in such a systematic form. De Historia Stirpium survived several editions and was translated into Dutch and German.

Blalla Wolfgang / Wolfgang Ewald Hallmann was a German painter and graphic artist. He deals with fundamental existential questions (religion, sexuality, ...) in a drastic, both blasphemous and obscene manner. Formally, it moves between surrealism, outsider art (Art Brut), folk art and numerous references to art history. In the 1980s, the cycle of "horror pictures" was created. In addition to other techniques, the reverse glass painting known from folk art is characteristic of him. In 1995/1996 Hallmann produced a series of 149 sheets of woodcuts in which he recapitulated his own career under the title “The Way, the Truth and Life”. He was a member of the artist trio around Herbert Haberl and Bernd Wangerin. In 1965 he was a founding member of a traveling theater that later became “Hoffmanns Comic Teater”. Members of this group later formed the rock band Ton Steine Scherben.
Fritz Köthe — German painter and graphic artist, is considered one of the most important representatives of German pop art and photorealism.
Martin Frobenius Ledermüller was a German lawyer and amateur naturalist, popularizer of natural sciences.
Ledermüller received a law degree and worked in bureaucratic and legal positions, and it was only at an advanced age that he was able to pursue his favorite occupation - science, to which he would devote himself fully in future studies. The results of his work are the first most beautifully illustrated books of the eighteenth century devoted to microscopes and research with them.
Ledermüller's famous work Mikroskopische Gemüths- und Augenergötzungen was published in 1759 in French and Dutch and has been reprinted several times. The 158 beautifully illustrated pages show all sorts of natural objects, including shells, salts, plants and flowers, insects, human blood and urine viewed through a microscope. Several microscopes and their component parts are also illustrated.
