Members of the Olympia Academy: Conrad Habicht, Maurice Solovine, and Albert Einstein

Conrad Habicht (December 28, 1876, Schaffhausen – October 23, 1958, Schaffhausen) was a Swiss mathematician and close personal friend of Albert Einstein. Together with Maurice Solovine, the three founded the Olympia Academy, an informal circle of friends who met together in Bern from 1902 to 1904 to discuss physics.

Habicht and Solovine were the only two witnesses to Einstein's 1903 wedding to Mileva Marić.

Habicht was the recipient of Einstein's 1904 letter in which Einstein described his Annus Mirabilis papers.
