Johann König (1586–1642) was a German painter. The son of a Nuremberg goldsmith, König was a follower of Adam Elsheimer. He is known today primarily because of his very finely painted copper panels.

König was born in Nuremberg in 1586, the son of goldsmith Arnold König. His knowledge of the works of Johannes Rottenhammer of the elderly suggests that he might have spent his apprentice years in Augsburg (possibly with Rottenhammer).

What is certain is proving that he spent a year staying in Venice and in Rome from 1610 to 1614. Here he has possibly made contact in December 1610 with Adam Elsheimer before the later died. Elsheimers works directly stimulated Königs creativity. Even early works of König reflect Elsheimer landscape art.

Together with the works of Paul Bril they exerted a strong influence on the young painter. It was probably in Rome where he came into contact with the early works of Carlo Saraceni.

In 1614 he returned to Augsburg and married and also received the painter rights by the local gild. In 1622 he became member of the painters' guild, a year later, he became a member of the Great Council. After 1620 he worked with Matthias Gundelach and Johann Matthias Kager together on the decorations of Augsburg Town Hall created by Elias Holl.

Heinz Erhardt (20 February 1909 in Riga – 5 June 1979 in Hamburg) was a German comedian, musician, entertainer, actor, and poet.

Heinz Erhardt was the son of Baltic German Kapellmeister Gustl Erhardt. He lived most of his childhood at his grandparents in Riga, where his grandfather, Paul Nelder, owned a music house. His grandfather also taught him how to play the piano; Erhardt's wish to become a professional pianist was not supported by his grandparents who wanted him to work as a merchant.

In 1935, Erhardt married Gilda Zanetti. They had four children: Grit, Verena, Gero, and Marita. Gero Erhardt became a film director and cinematographer, and his grandson, Marek Erhardt, became an actor.

The spectacle wearer and non-swimmer Erhardt was drafted into the German navy during the Second World War, but only on the third call-up; he served as a pianist in the Marine orchestra and only handled weapons during his basic training.

After the Second World War he moved to Hamburg-Wellingsbüttel and from 1948 worked as a radio moderator at NWDR. From then on he became more and more famous for his countless pun poems. Also, he became an actor and a mime. In his films he always played a character that fit his stage persona as an entertainer and comedian. His roles were polite and slightly weird persons typical of the period of the Wirtschaftswunder or "economic miracle".
