Gutenberg

Man of the Millennium, Innovator, World Changer: Johannes Gutenberg is a person of significance for an entire millennium – and for all of humanity. With his invention of the printing press with movable letters around the year 1450, he revolutionized the media and cultural history on our planet.

Johannes Gutenberg's invention has literally shaped our world. The idea sounds so simple: instead of painstakingly copying a book letter by letter in writing rooms, it is simply printed in masses using movable type.
