Scholl

Scholl is a German surname. Notable people with the surname include Hans Scholl and Sophie Scholl, who were key members of the White Rose, a non-violent resistance group in Munich during World War II. Their sister Inge Scholl (1917–1998) was a writer who documented the group’s activities and helped publish their pamphlets that circulated among students and professors in Germany.

Scholl is also the name of a long-standing foot-care brand, commonly stylized as Dr. Scholl’s. The brand is named after its founder, a German physician known simply as Dr. Scholl. It originated in the early 20th century and expanded to a wide range of products focused on foot care, including insoles and orthotics, callus removers, foot creams, massagers, and nail care items. The brand has been marketed worldwide and has been owned or licensed by different consumer-health companies in various regions over time.

Today, the name Scholl most often appears in two contexts: as a family name with historical significance in Germany, and as a global brand associated with foot-care products and related health devices. The meaning or reference of the term depends on the surrounding context.
