The 100 most important germans: Adolf Hitler

Adolf Hitler (born 20. April 1889 in Braunau am Inn; died 30. April 1945 in Berlin)
And here we are. He is maybe one of the most famous men working in our country. And what do we learn out of this? Never underestimate a failed painter, because our Uncle Adolf was one of those artists and went through cheap bars to sell his horrible kitsch paintings. This was the way he came in contact with the NSDAP. The rest is history.
The germans decided to elect him and went to war.

The 100 most important germans: Heinrich Zille

Heinrich Zille (born 10. Januar 1858 in Radeburg; died 9. August 1929 in Berlin)
Berlin is and was always one of the melting pots in Germany. There was always poor and rich close to each other. Today we’ve got Mitte, Zehlendorf as the places where the prosperity is, Friedrichshain and Kreuzberg where the students are and Wedding and Neukölln where the working people are living.

The 100 most important germans: Wilhelm Busch

Wilhelm Busch (born 15. April 1832 in Wiedensahl; died 9. Januar 1908 in Mechtshausen)
When you are thinking of comics, Wilhelm Busch is most likely not the very first person you think of even when you are from Germany. But the fact is, that he is one of the most important comic artist of our country, but his work is mostly called pictured stories. It is the same difference like between graphic novels and sequential art, there is no such thing.
