Thomas Mauksch (20 December 1749 Kežmarok - 10 February 1832 Kežmarok) was a Carpathian German naturalist, botanist, Lutheran pastor, and wine merchant. He was the son of Tobias Mauksch, butcher in Kežmarok, and his wife Anna-Maria born Toportzer. He studied at the gymnasia in Kežmarok, Szikszó and Sárospatak and in the years 1872 – 1873 theology at the University of Leipzig. Between 1776-1784 he was subrector and professor at the gymnasium in Kežmarok. Subsequently he became Lutheran pastor in Bardejov (1784-1786) and later in Veľký Slavkov (1786-1802). In 1802 he returned to Kežmarok and traded in wine, tobacco and coffee, at times substituting for the Lutheran pastor there. He was friendly with Christian Augustini ab Hortis〔:hu:Augustini ab Hortis Keresztély and it was under his influence that Samuel Genersich took up botany. He persuaded another friend, Count Stephan Csáky to erect several guesthouses at the foot of the Tatra Mountains, thereby starting the settlement which became Starý Smokovec. Mauksch devoted most of his scientific work to the botanical exploration of the Tatra Mountains. He kept meteorological records of the area for some fifty years. He also acted as a host and guide to visiting botanists, among them Robert Townson. .〔=http://adbonline.anu.edu.au/biogs/A020490b.htm〕 Pál Kitaibel and Göran Wahlenberg.
