Among the Nobel Prize winners of the year 1911 was also born on 11 November 1864 in Vienna Austrian Alfred Hermann Fried. He received the Nobel Peace Prize for his lifelong commitment to the peace movement. His merit was to have led the peace movement beyond their enthusiastically advocated, but theoretically more or less blurred in blurred psychology and character studies approaches. World War I stricken the dedicated pacifist. But he did not allow himself to be discouraged and remained active in the peace movement throughout the war. Looking ahead, he also considered the peace treaties of Versailles and Saint Germain only as the germ of further bloody clashes. Unfortunately, he should be right, as the Second World War has proven. Fried died on May 5, 1921 in Vienna.
