Special Relativity was completely ripped off from Henri Poincaré and Hendrik Lorentz (but then they were not German and the physics establishment was dominated by Germans at the time). Einstein's 1921 Nobel prize pointedly ignores Relativity and was awarded for his work on the photoelectric effect, a backhanded slap if there were none.
