Gerhard Rohlfs (July 14, 1892 – September 12, 1986) was a German linguist. He taught Romance languages and literature at the universities in Tübingen and Munich. He was described as an "archeologist of words".

Spiridon Palauzov (Спиридон Палаузов; July 16, 1818 in Odessa – August 17, 1872 in Pavlovsk, Saint Petersburg) was a Russian historian of Bulgarian descent who studied the medieval and modern history of Bulgaria, Romania, the Czech Republic, Hungary and the Austrian Empire.

He also participated in the organization of the Aprilov National High School in Gabrovo. He was the son of Nikolay Palauzov, who laid the stone at the foundation of Aprilov National High School with its first school. In 1832-1840 he studied at the Richelieu Lyceum in Odessa, and in 1840-1843 studied at the University of Bonn, Heidelberg University and Munich. On August 24, 1843, he defended a dissertation at the University of Munich on ancient Greek economy.

Christos Tsountas (Greek: Χρήστος Τσούντας; 1857 – 9 June 1934) was a Greek classical archaeologist. He is considered a pioneer of Greek archaeology and has been called "the first and most eminent Greek prehistorian".

Born in Stenimachos in Thrace in 1857, Tsountas received his university education in Germany, at the universities of Hannover, Munich and Jena. After a brief period working as a teacher, he was hired by the Archaeological Society of Athens as an archaeological official in 1882, and joined the Greek Archaeological Service the following year. He was most active as a field archaeologist in the early decades of his life, carrying out the first archaeological survey of Thessaly, excavating several Mycenaean tombs in Laconia, and carrying out the first formal excavations of the citadel of Mycenae. In the late 1890s, his discoveries in the Cyclades generated the first evidence of Cycladic culture, to which Tsountas gave its name.

Johann Andreas Schmeller (6 August 1785 in Tirschenreuth – 27 September 1852 in Munich) was a German philologist who initially studied the Bavarian dialect. From 1828 until his death he taught in the University of Munich. He is considered the founder of modern dialect research in Germany. His lasting contribution is the four-volume Bayerisches Wörterbuch [de] (Bavarian Dictionary), which is currently in the process of revision by the Bavarian Academy of Sciences and Humanities.

Rudolf Walter Richard Hess (Heß in German; 26 April 1894 – 17 August 1987) was a German politician, convicted war criminal and a leading member of the Nazi Party in Germany. Appointed Deputy Führer (Stellvertreter des Führers) to Adolf Hitler in 1933, Hess held that position until 1941, when he flew solo to Scotland in an attempt to negotiate the United Kingdom's exit from the Second World War. He was taken prisoner and eventually convicted of crimes against peace. He was still serving his life sentence at the time of his suicide in 1987.

Hess enlisted as an infantryman in the Imperial German Army at the outbreak of World War I. He was wounded several times during the war and was awarded the Iron Cross, 2nd Class, in 1915. Shortly before the war ended, he enrolled to train as an aviator, but he saw no action in that role. He left the armed forces in December 1918 with the rank of Leutnant der Reserve. In 1919, he enrolled in the University of Munich, where he studied geopolitics under Karl Haushofer, a proponent of the concept of Lebensraum ('living space'), which became one of the pillars of Nazi ideology. He joined the Nazi Party on 1 July 1920 and was at Hitler's side on 8 November 1923 for the Beer Hall Putsch, a failed Nazi attempt to seize control of the government of Bavaria. While serving a prison sentence for this attempted coup, he assisted Hitler with Mein Kampf, which became a foundation of the political platform of the Nazi Party.

Stanislaus Josef Mathias von Prowazek, Edler von Lanow (12 November 1875 Jindřichův Hradec, Bohemia – 17 February 1915, Cottbus), born Stanislav Provázek, was a Czech biologist, zoologist and parasitologist, who along with pathologist Henrique da Rocha Lima (1879-1956) discovered the pathogen of epidemic typhus.

As a student in biology at the University of Prague, he was influenced by the teachings of zoologist Berthold Hatschek and philosopher Ernst Mach. Other important influences to his career were immunologist Paul Ehrlich at the Institute for Experimental Therapy (later named Paul Ehrlich Institute) in Frankfurt (1901) and zoologist Richard von Hertwig at the University of Munich.

Louis IX (German: Ludwig IX, Herzog von Bayern-Landshut, also known as Louis the Rich; 23 February 1417 – 18 January 1479) was Duke of Bavaria-Landshut from 1450. He was a son of Henry XVI the Rich and Margaret of Austria. Louis was the founder of the University of Ingolstadt (now the University of Munich).

Oskar Braun (1862-1931) was a Syriac specialist and ordained Catholic priest. He was born in Dillingen an der Donau in 1862 and was ordained as a priest in 1885, becoming chaplain at Santa Maria dell’Anima. He studied languages with Ignazio Guidi while in Rome, and obtained a doctoral degree from the University of Munich in 1890. He worked as a professor of Semitic languages at the University of Würzburg from 1894, and of patristics from 1907 until his retirement in 1927. His work Ausgewählte Akten Persischer Märtyrer ("Selected Acts of Persian Martyrs"), published in 1915, is still cited by scholars today. His Timothei Patriarchae I Epistulae, vol. 1, an edition and translation of Timothy I's letters, also remains current and was reprinted in 2009.
