The Protestant pastor Leopold Erdmann Emanuel Felke (1856
- 1926) was a naturopath who developed the eponymous Felke cure, and who was
active in Repelen near Moers
from 1896 to 1914 and in Bad Sobernheim from 1915 to 1925. He also practiced
iris diagnosis (iridology).

Because his treatments included applications of clay and
clay baths, Felke was often referred to as the clay pastor. Felke's regimen
included a healthy diet and outdoor exercise. His patients were given meals
that contained little meat, healing earth applications and cold baths in
outdoor zinc bathtubs, and they had to sleep on clay floors or straw sacks in
cabins open to the light and air.
