author
b. 1887
A little-known early 20th-century German-language writer whose surviving work points to a medical and academic background rather than a long public literary career.
Available catalog records identify Carl Weiss, born in 1887, as the author of a German dissertation titled Experimentelle Untersuchungen über die Frage: Ist die Furcht vor Krankheitsübertragung durch das Telephon berechtigt? That suggests he wrote in a scientific, scholarly context and was active in the world of medicine in the early 1900s.
Beyond that, reliable biographical details are scarce in the sources I could confirm here. Because the record appears limited and I could not verify fuller personal information such as birthplace, later career, or death date, it is best to treat him as an obscure historical author known primarily through this surviving academic publication.
