- Marcus was Jewish in ethnic sense, although he converted protestant after. He was born in Mecklenburg-Schwerin which became later a part of the German Empire.

Anyway, Marcus should be categorised rather German than Austrian.

- Ironically (or tragically, as you wish) most Americans think that the petrol-driven car was invented by a Nazi, named Henry Ford. NRPanikker (talk) 17:38, 30 November 2023 (UTC)
