Otto von Guericke (originally spelled Gericke) (November 20, 1602 - May 11,
1686) was the mayor of Magdeburg from
1646 to 1676.
During this time he investigated vacuum and air pressure, invented the vacuum pump,
and made the Magdeburg hemispheres, which he demonstrated
again in Berlin in 1663 with even more (24)
horses.
