Albert Schweitzer
Ludwig Philipp Albert Schweitzer Schweitzer (January 14, 1875 - September 4, 1965), a German-French writer, humanitarian activist, theologian, thinker, doctor, organist, pastor, and musicologist. He holds four doctorates in theology, music, philosophy, and medicine. He is famous for his long-term humanitarian medical work in Africa since the age of 30. Schweitzer was born in Kessersberg, Alsace-Lorraine, Germany at that time. Half a year later, his family moved to Kingsbuck and settled there. Alsace is located on the border between France and Germany. Although it is mainly German, it has been part of France for a long time, so it was possible to speak both German and French languages in childhood. He won the 1952 Nobel Peace Prize in 1953 for his founding of the Albert Schweitzer Hospital in Gabon, western Central Africa.
