In 2003, the German television company ZDF had a vote on which viewers considered the most significant German of all time. Sophie and Hans Scholl ended up in an honorable fourth place with names like Göthe, Beethoven, Bach and Willy Brandt behind them. For a nation strongly associated with Hitler, it is important to create a strong counterweight and this counterweight is spelled Scholl and especially Sophie.
