Go with Mr. Ratzinger

Comedian and physician Dr. Ludger Stratmann has died: https://www1.wdr.de/nachrichten/ruhrgebiet/ludger-stratmann-tot-100.html Unsure whether a doctor makes better jokes, but for the Ruhrgebiet-region, he was quite a big name in comedy business.

And an incarnation of ecclesiastical prosperity.

This makes her widower a hot contender for 2022! Maybe we block a honorary seat for Liechtenstein?

Japanese physicist and 2008 laureate Toshihide Mas(u)kawa has died. https://jen.jiji.com/jc/eng?g=eco&k=2021072901347 Not chosen, value 1.736 points. https://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/physics/2008/maskawa/facts/

Dead: https://www.stuttgarter-nachrichten.de/inhalt.deutschland-schauspieler-herbert-koefer-mit-100-jahren-gestorben.c86104f8-9ecd-4dfe-81ff-2db78f9a961c.html

1979 physics laureate Steven Weinberg has died aged 88: https://apnews.com/article/science-nobel-prizes-physics-fa5df3e3f8027f545d6d41c19151caeb He was not chosen in the NPDP but would have been worth 1.430 points. It seems that US-American scientists who share their prizes are very unlikely to score bonus points. Unless you are Weinberg's Co-laureate Sheldon Lee Glashow, who is now the last surviving laureate from 1979! One to put an eye on in 2022 - when he will turn 90 as well!

And also a producer for several tv formats. A formating figure of German television.

Ma no lic, please

@Salmon Mousse now leads the scoreboard with 3.836 point, followed by @Bibliogryphon with 3.634 points. Third place is @TomTomTelekom, who has scored 1.826 point. (Sorry, @Salmon Mousse, but it was late yesterday, so I falsely scored Mr. Negishi for Africa, not for Asia. One point had to be removed, I apologize.)

@MariNisia You are welcome to join. Next year there will be a deadline, but this year I messed up the start. That's why you're welcome to participate. And thanks for your words.
