Stamp: "Prof. Dr. R. Cohn Königsberg i. Pr."
Rudolf Cohn was born on 23 April 1862 in Schneidemühl. He studied medicine and became a renowned pharmacologist and professor at the University of Königsberg. In 1898, he married Olga Margarete Lazar (1877–1952), with whom he had two daughters, Alice, born in 1906, and Henriette Eva, born in 1908.
