Dr. Arthur Brauns

Dr. Arthur Eduard Heinrich Brauns (March 15, 1883 - September 1, 1925)[1] was a prominent early German Bahá'í named as a Disciple of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá.[2] He heard of the Faith at a lecture given by William Herrigel likely in Carlsruhe, Germany, and later introduced his Father-in-law August Forel to the religion.[3] His wife, Marta Brauns-Forel, was also a prominent member of the German Bahá'í community. He was survived by her and their five children when he drowned while on a rafting trip in 1925.[4]
