Arno Peters
Arno Peters (May 22, 1916 – December 2, 2002) developed the Peters world map, based on the Gall–Peters projection.
Peters was a German historian born in Berlin on May 22, 1916. He began his career in Hollywood in the late 1930s, studying American filmmaking. After attaining his doctorate degree from the Friedrich-Wilhelm University in 1945, Peters began his academic research of synchronoptic world history. This topic was introduced to him during college and formed a large part of his dissertation, titled "Film as a Means of Public Leadership". Though Peters discussed his world map as early as 1967, he did not start promoting it until a press conference in Bonn in May, 1973.〔
〕 In 1974 Peters founded the Institute for Universal History in Bremen, Germany where he served as director. He was awarded an honorary professorship by the University of Bremen and worked in Bremen until his death on December 2, 2002.〔http://www.yusthaus.com/petersmap/History/Obituary.html〕
== Early life ==
In childhood Peters lived in Berlin, Germany with his brother, Werner and his parents Lucy and Bruno. The family often entertained foreign guests, and he was exposed to social activism because of his parents' role in the labor union movement.〔http://www.odt.org/album.htm〕 His father was briefly incarcerated by the Nazi regime toward the end of World War II. Peters competed as both a cyclist and a swimmer in high school, receiving titles in both.〔 Returning to Germany after studying film in Hollywood, Peters was able to improve the German production process, and in 1940 he released a film of his own, "Immer Nur Du", a modern musical. At the age of 25 he was the youngest German filmmaker of the time.
