Lovrenc Košir
Lovrenc Košir, also Laurenz Koschier (29 July 1804 – 7 August 1879) was a Slovenian accountant and civil servant in the Austrian Empire, who worked in Ljubljana. He is notable as being one of the claimants to the title of the inventor of the postage stamp, besides Rowland Hill and James Chalmers. His claim was widely supported in Austria and Yugoslavia, and he was recognized as undisputed "conceptual inventor" of postage stamps in those two countries. Today, those claims are controversial and he is not seen as undisputed inventor any more, as there is evidence that his claims were based on misconstructions. Biography Lovrenc Košir was born in Spodnja Luša, Carniola and baptized ''Laurentius Koschier''. The Slovenized spelling of his name, ''Lovrenc Košir'', appeared in print by 1937.

Lovrenc Na Pohorju
Lovrenc na Pohorju (; or ''Sankt Lorenzen ob Marburg'') is a settlement in northeastern Slovenia. It lies in the Pohorje Hills to the west of Maribor. The area is part of the traditional region of Lower Styria, Styria. It is now included in the Drava Statistical Region. It is the seat of the Municipality of Lovrenc na Pohorju.
