Shown here is the German psychiatrist Dr. Alois Alzheimer, one of the most brilliant men who never won the Noble Prize. It may have been that the politics in Sweden were such that they did not wish to give the Nobel Prize to a German at that time. Also deserving Nobel Prizes were Nissl and Kraepelin, both Germans. Another factor may have been that psychiatry involves murky waters, and all three were psychiatrists.

Shown here is Dr. Rudolph Virchow of 19th century Germany. Alfred Nobel of Sweden did not start the Nobel Prize until the 20th century. Virchow advocated cellular pathology. In other words, he thought that diseases should be studied by looking at the cells with a microscope. Alzheimer followed this path with success, as did Nissl and others.
