Carl Johann Theodor Abs, generally referred to as Carl Abs (September 12, 1851, Groß Godems, Grand Duchy of Mecklenburg-Schwerin – February 18, 1895, Hamburg), also known as "The German Oak", was one of Germany's most well known professional wrestlers in the 19th century and is considered the founder of modern professional wrestling in Germany.
