	Windaus, Adolf
		Adolf Windaus was born in Berlin on December 25, 1876, the son of Adolf Windaus and Margarete Elster.
		Cooperating with the I. Farbenindustry, which supplied the precious raw material for the work, he was able to prove that not an imidazole-ring (as suggested by Jansen and Donath), but a thiazole- and a pyrimidine-ring are present in vitamin B1.
		He moved to Gottingen in 1915 as Professor of Chemistry, succeeding Otto Wallach, where he stayed until his retirement in 1944 as Director of the Laboratory for General Chemistry, formerly the Wohler Institute.
