Answer 1

Wie wärs denn mit pastor [https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johann_Hinrich_Wichern Johann Hinrich Wichern], dem 'Erfinder' des modern Adventskranzes?

Dazu müsste es erstmal ein Wikitree-Profil für ihn geben. In der Wichern-Liste gibt es zwischen Peter (*1805) und Carl Eduard Georg (*1828) keinen Johann Hinrich (*1808). Fühl Dich frei, sein Profil anzulegen.
