You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

((Short description|German mineralogist and writer))

[[File:Franz von Kobell.jpg|right|thumb|Franz von Kobell (1857)]]
'''Wolfgang Xavier Franz Ritter von Kobell''' (19 July 1803((snd))11 November 1882) was a German [[mineralogist]] and writer of short stories and poems in [[Bavarian language|Bavarian]] dialect.<ref>''[[Ritter]]'' is a title corresponding to a [[knighthood]] (sometimes mistranslated as "Baron"), not a first or middle name.</ref>

==Biography==
[[File:Frauenkirche 06.jpg|thumb|Early  silver chloride paper photograph of Munich Frauenkirche, 1839]]

Kobell was born in [[Munich]], Bavaria (where he also died), son of the painter [[Wilhelm Kobell]]. After studying [[mineralogy]] in [[Landshut]], he became professor of mineralogy in 1826 at the [[University of Munich]],<ref>[http://www.mineralogicalrecord.com/libdetail.asp?id=777 KOBELL, Franz Wolfgang Ritter von. (1803–1882)] Tafeln zur Bestimmung der Mineralien – The Mineralogical Record</ref> and in 1856 was appointed first curator of the Bavarian State collection of minerals. His greatest contributions were new methods in [[crystallography]]. In 1855 he invented the [[stauroscope]] for the study of the optical properties of [[crystal]]s.<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=YG0NAAAAYAAJ&dq=stauroscope+Kobell&pg=PA394 Manual of petrographic methods] by Albert Johannsen</ref> The mineral [[kobellite]] is named after him,<ref>[http://www.mindat.org/min-2233.html Kobellite] Mindat.org</ref> and he invented a comparative [[fusibility]] scale.

Besides his work as a mineralogist, Kobell is also famous for writing many short stories and poems in the Bavarian dialect of Upper Bavaria. He was among the regular hunting companions of the Bavarian dukes and monarchs. His best known work is a short story which was later used as base for the popular Bavarian stage play ''Der Brandner Kasper''. The story is about a blacksmith from [[Tegernsee]], who is visited by the [[grim reaper]] and tricks him into drinking and gambling for some further years on earth. The grim reaper has some issues with his management and convinces Kasper to stay in paradise, after he had a look into it, similar as in the [[Joshua ben Levi]] legend. The play was adapted 1974 for the stage by a grand nephew of Kobell, Kurt Wilhelm.<ref>[https://www.muenchner-volkstheater.de/ensemble/autoren/franz-von-kobell-kurt-wilhelm Franz von Kobell / Kurt Wilhelm] Münchner Volkstheater</ref> There are different television and movie adaptations. Each year before [[All Saint's Day]] it is being sent by the [[Bayerischer Rundfunk]] (Bavarian Broadcasting Agency).

Kobell's writing shows great comic awareness and the ability to combine a rich sense of fantasy with realism. 1834 Kobell went for a study journey to Greece during the short term kingdom of King [[Otto of Greece]] and was member of different academies. He pioneered as well early photographic and [[photochemistry]] procedures together with [[Carl August von Steinheil]].<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=GDSRJQ3BZ5EC&dq=%22Carl+August+von+Steinheil%22+Kobell&pg=PA14 A Concise History of Photography] by Helmut Gernsheim</ref>
