German Surname

The ''Vorname'' is usually gender-specific. A name is usually cited in the " Western order" of "given name, surname", unless it occurs in an alphabetized list of surnames, e.g. " Bach, Johann Sebastian". In this, the German conventions parallel the naming conventions in most of Western and Central Europe, including English, Dutch, Italian, and French.

Franz Seraph Tausend, "Der Goldmacher" (July 5, 1884 – July 9, 1942) was a 20th-century German alchemist, who was able to raise significant funding from senior Nazi Party figures for his project. He was arrested in 1929 and convicted of misappropriation, serving a prison sentence. He died in prison in 1942, while serving a sentence for a separate crime. Biography During the 1920s and 1930s, Tausend said he had developed a process for extracting gold from base metals, a prospect of interest to the Nazi Party, which was desperate for funding in a Germany struggling with hyperinflation.
