Fritjof Lindgren composed more than 600 problems, most of them three-movers and many excellent miniatures. He also wrote some books about chess composition: "Schackkuriosa", "Moderna svenska schackproblem" (1936) and "33 Schackminiatyrer" (1937).
He was the father of GM Bo Lindgren - more about Bo in another post.
Here is a example of his threemovers:

Gerd Wilts (23-02-1969) German composer
Gerd Wilts is a retro composer. He is also the precious person who takes care of our dear Chess Problem Database Server.
Together with Norbert Geissler he composed many "Massacre" proof games, where many captures occur in less than 20 moves and the last standing men are the two Kings and one or two officers, such as this one. Here is another expression of his talent, in two solutions:
