Alfred Enneper (June 14, 1830, Barmen - March 24, 1885 Hanover) earned his PhD from the Georg-August-Universität Göttingen in 1856 for his dissertation about functions with complex arguments. After his habilitation 1859 in Göttingen he was from 1870 on Professor (Extraordinarius) at Göttingen. He studied minimal surfaces and parametrized Enneper's minimal surfaces in 1863. A contemporary of Karl Weierstrass, the two created a whole class of parameterizations.
