Which person who handeld with electromagnetic waves and proofed
its existence for sure and for the first time is not known. By the
theories of the english physician Maxwell there was an
evidence of the existence of unvisible waves some years before.

The young Italian Guglielmo Marconi reanimated the radio waves.
His private teacher Vincenco Rosa et al showed him the Hertz experiment and inspired Marconi to
his lifelong passion for wireless. Together with his brother they conducted experiments
at the estate of this wealthy father und cover distances of several hundrets of meters.

At about the same time the Colgne chocolate manufacturer Ludwig Stollwerck
become engaged in the wireless scene. He was presented some kind of radio circuits
and he was a man to invest in 'modern technology'. But before he would invest money
he asked for advice from the most experienced expert in physics,
Prof. Ferdiand Braun
at Strassburg.
The papers handed to Stollwerck showed circuits very similar to the ones, Marconi used.
