Johann Conrad Dippel (1673-1734).

JCD published many theological works under the name Christianus Democritus, most of them are still preserved. He invented the color "Preussisch Blau" (also "Berliner Blau"), and sold a self-mixed life elixier. He led a very adventurous life, and often got in trouble because of his controversial opinions (and because of money).

His connection to the Castle Frankenstein (near Darmstadt/ Germany), and the idea that he was ideal to Mary Shelley's novel "Frankenstein - or the new Prometheus" is controversial.

There is no doubt about his connection to Castle Frankenstein: it is his birthplace! --Siffler 11:28, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
