Could anyone one of you be able to provide me a link, or point me to the journal or article id,
in which Schroedinger first proposed his equation. (And I do not speak German so it would be better if it is somehow translated to English)

Thanks in advance.

The mentioned article is a summary article, which pretty much sums up the six fundamental papers written by Schrödinger in 1926.

The journal ids of the fundamental papers are the following:

• E. Schrödinger, Quantisierung als Eigenwertproblem
(Erste Mitteilung), Ann. Phys. 79, 361-76 (1926).
• E. Schrödinger, Quantisierung als Eigenwertproblem
(Zweite Mitteilung), Ann. Phys. 79, 489-527 (1926).
• E. Schrödinger, Der stetige Übergang von der Mikro-
zur Makromechanik, Die Naturwissenschaften, 14. Jahrg. Heft 28, S. 664-666 (1926).
• E. Schrödinger, Über das Verhältnis der Heisenberg-Born-Jordanschen
Quantenmechanik zu der meinen, Ann. Phys. 79, 734-56 (1926).
• E. Schrödinger, Quantisierung als Eigenwertproblem
(Dritte Mitteilung), Ann. Phys. 80, 437-90 (1926).
• E. Schrödinger, Quantisierung als Eigenwertproblem
(Vierte Mitteilung), Ann. Phys. 81, 109-39 (1926).

Unfortunately I am not able to provide you with a translation or a copy of these article. If you happen to find one of these papers I might be able to translate a few paragraphs, though.
 
Thanks to you both, I really appreciate it.
 
It's funny how different the Schrodinger Equation looked in 1926 versus today.
 
Not an expert in QM. AFAIK, Schrödinger's equation is quite different from the classical wave equation. The former is an equation for the dynamics of the state of a (quantum?) system, the latter is an equation for the dynamics of a (classical) degree of freedom. As a matter of fact, Schrödinger's equation is first order in time derivatives, while the classical wave equation is second order. But, AFAIK, Schrödinger's equation is a wave equation; only its interpretation makes it non-classical...

Is it possible, and fruitful, to use certain conceptual and technical tools from effective field theory (coarse-graining/integrating-out, power-counting, matching, RG) to think about the relationship between the fundamental (quantum) and the emergent (classical), both to account for the quasi-autonomy of the classical level and to quantify residual quantum corrections? By “emergent,” I mean the following: after integrating out fast/irrelevant quantum degrees of freedom (high-energy modes...
