Print run: 5,000
Details: 150th birthday of Albert Schweitzer (1875 - 1965)
Designer(s): B.H. Mayer Mint
Albert Schweitzer (Kaysersberg, January 14, 1875 – Lambaréné, Gabon, September 4, 1965) was a German scholar with three doctorates: as a physician (medical practitioner), as a Lutheran theologian, and as a philosopher; he was also a writer and musician.
Albert Schweitzer was born in 1875 in Kaysersberg, in the northern, then German Alsace, the present-day French department of Haut-Rhin. He is widely admired for leaving behind a comfortable academic career to establish a hospital in Lambaréné, Gabon, where he dedicated much of his life to treating the sick and improving local healthcare. Schweitzer believed in a philosophy he called “reverence for life,” in which he emphasized respect and compassion for all living beings.
In 1951 he received the prestigious Peace Prize of the German Book Trade for his protest against nuclear tests. His work and writings inspired global humanitarian efforts and earned him the Nobel Peace Prize in 1952. Schweitzer’s life is an example of selfless service and the moral responsibility to help others. He became, besides his medical work in Africa, especially known for his philosophy on culture and ethics, and as a musician for his studies and interpretation of the music of Johann Sebastian Bach on the organ and piano.
