Josef Schnitter (Bulgarian: Йосиф Шнитер, Yosif Shniter; 6 October 1852–26 April 1914) was a Czech–Bulgarian architect, engineer and geodesist credited with shaping the modern appearance of Plovdiv, Bulgaria's second-largest city.Schnitter was born in the small town of Nový Bydžov in Bohemia, Austrian Empire (today in the Czech Republic). He graduated from the University of Technology's Faculty of Construction in the imperial capital Vienna and then moved to the Russian Empire, where he converted to the Eastern Orthodox Church. Schnitter arrived in Bulgaria during the Russo-Turkish War of 1877–1878 and assisted the Imperial Russian Army as an engineer, designing the pontoon bridges used in the crossing of the Danube and the fortification equipment employed by the Russians in the Siege of Plevna. Schnitter was injured at Pleven and received a sabre from General Eduard Totleben, who commanded the siege, as a recognition of his contribution to the siege's success.Even before the Treaty of San Stefano was signed on 3 March 1878 and Bulgaria was liberated from Ottoman rule, Schnitter was dispatched to Plovdiv by the Russians. He settled in the city, which was the capital of autonomous Eastern Rumelia until the Unification of Bulgaria in 1885, and, after a brief private practice, served as Plovdiv's head architect and municipal chief of engineering from 1878 until his death in 1914.Schnitter was married to a fellow Austrian citizen who was staying in Plovdiv's Old Town en route to Istanbul. According to the story, he met his future wife when the crumbs she threw out of her window landed on Schnitter, who was touring the buildings he had constructed. His best man was Slovene scholar Anton Bezenšek who spent two decades teaching in Plovdiv. The architect acquired Bulgarian citizenship in 1906. Josef Schnitter died of bronchopneumonia in 1914; he got sick while overseeing the repair of the city water conduit. He was interred in the Plovdiv Central Cemetery.Maria Schnitter, head of the Plovdiv University's Faculty of Philosophy and History, is his granddaughter. In 2006, Josef Schnitter was posthumously declared an honorary citizen of Plovdiv and in early 2009, plans were announced to erect a monument to the architect in the city; the monument will be sculptured by Tsvyatko Siromashki. A street in Plovdiv is also named after the architect.

Josef 'Pepča' Stejskal (also known as Josef Lada Stejskal) is a figure of Brno subculture during the 1970s in Czechoslovakia. Labelled as a 'poet, artist, surrealist and protagonist', he was well known within the Brno 'counter culture' which opposed the communist regime at the time. Born in the Moravian town of Kroměříž, he later moved to Brno as a young man full of ambitions.In Brno, he established himself amongst the theatrical and literary circles of the time. Noted for his poetry and his artwork, he became best known for his theater posters which contained his unique brand of surrealism and humour. This unique style was popular with the people, but not with the communist regime, and it eventually landed him in 'hot water'; in 1978, he was forced to flee his motherland and ended up in far-away Sydney, Australia. This was good news for the theater scene in Australia as it was in long awaited need of something new and edgy, and Pepča brought and planted his unique style there.An image gallery of Josef Stejskal's best-known artworks can be found at the National Gallery of Australia.

In 1892 Germany saw its first electric light with the help of a steam turbine developed by Josef Schneider Sr. The first electricity was sold to the Hohenzollern royal family. Two years later (1894), a fire destroyed the original generating plant, motivating construction of the first private hydro-electric power plant in Horb am Neckar (Black Forest). By 1912, he and Oskar von Miller were the first to connect eleven cities in the Stuttgart-Munich region to an electric grid using high-voltage lines.

Josef Schleich (1902 – 7 February 1949) was an Austrian citizen. During the time of National Socialism he helped many Jews as a smuggler to cross the border to Yugoslavia.He was born in Graz, Styria.Schleich was a poultry farm owner. Until the "Anschluss" (German for link-up) in 1938 when Austria was incorporated into Greater Germany by Nazi Germany Schleich increased his income by smuggling flints and saccharin to Yugoslavia.After the "Anschluss" Schleich started to expand his business. As Jews were no longer welcome by other countries (due to having no assets after paying high taxes), Schleich started to teach farming. After the end of this education a certificate helped Jews to emigrate. Because too many certificates were issued Schleich lost his credit and customers.Schleich did not give up and changed his business one more time - he became a smuggler. With his help many Jews were able to cross the border and save their lives. For the transport to Yugoslavia he pretended to be a travel guide. His business flourished and he earned some extra money because he charged 670 German Reichsmark per person. Before the start of the Balkans campaign his activity was tolerated by the Nazi authorities. On 12 March 1941 Schleich and his colleagues were arrested and his business was destroyed.As a result, he was sentenced to ten months in prison and afterwards drafted to the "Wehrmacht" (armed forces of Germany).In 1945 he returned to Graz, Styria. Because some Jews failed to cross the border with his help as a smuggler they accused him. The reason was that he had taken advantage of the Jews' assets. For lack of evidence his lawsuit was cancelled.Schleich died on 7 February 1949 as a result of cirrhosis of the liver.The work of Schleich remained controversial in Austria. On the one hand he had earned money – that was against the law – but on the other hand he rescued hundreds of lives. In 2002 the Braunau Contemporary History Days had a discussion on this topic.
