Wolff Wilhelm Lowenthal ([1] was a silesian-born, naturalized French Doctor of Medicine.
15 February 1850 – 22 April 1894)Born in Rybnik, Province of Silesia, now Poland [2] after graduating from the University of Berlin, Lowenthal (or Löwenthal, with the umlaut), went to the Caucasus to continue his medical research. At the same time, he was Professor at the University of Geneva, in its branch at the Lausanne, Switzerland.
He corresponded regularly with the Central Literary Bureau in Berlin. On 17 June 1878, he had an important audience with Victor Hugo, to great public acclaim, where he pledged himself to France as his home country. In the Congrès littéraire international de 1878, held at Théâtre du Châtelet, in 1879. [3]
After that meeting, where he met Georges Maillard, they met again many years later, when Maillard retranslated the first series of the Association littéraire artistique internationale an organisation that was set up after, and in honour to, the Peace Declaration of World War I.
In Berlin he buoyed 1881 together with his brother Salo the publishing company Adressbuch-Verlag, then named Sozietät der Berliner Bürger-Zeitung W. & S. Loewenthal (formerly D. Collin). [4] [5] 1895, one year after his death, the publishing company has been sold.
Monsieur le Docteur Wilhelm LOEWENTHAL, ancien délégué général pour l'Allemagne, actuellement délégué correspondant à Lausanne (Suisse), fait une communication sur les connaissances actuelles de la science relativement aux microbes. Il présente un projet de classification de ces petits êtres qu’on considère tantôt comme des animaux, tantôt comme des végétaux, et décrit leur mode de reproduction. S’il est vrai que certains microbes sont causes des plus terribles maladies du genre humain, il en est aussi de bienfaisants pour l’homme, et sans lesquels il ne pourrait probablement pas exister.
Dr. Wilhelm Lowenthal, lately living in Germany, is actually writing to us from Lausanne, in Switzerland, about things he knows about the science of microbes. He has presented, to us, a project to classify these little beasts, which are neither as animal nor vegetable, and describes how they reproduce. If it is true that microbes are the cause of much human sickness, then the man does well to bring it to our attention, so that we can solve a problem that should not have existed.

But differences of views between Loewenthal and Baron Hirsch meant this never came about, and they agreed to separate in November 1891. It's well understood, from banking records, that Lowenthal was in Berlin in 1891, but then went to Brussels. A colony was established, called Moisés Ville, the first colony of the JCA.
It has been proven by banking records that Lowenthal died in the age of 44 in Berlin, after leaving Brussels. Susanne was 8 years old. She survived the Shoah.
In the colony, Lowenthal's name graces the principal thoroughfare. [7]
