Wilhelm Karl Ritter Von Haidinger
Wilhelm Karl Haidinger (5 February 179519 March 1871), ennobled as Wilhelm Ritter von Haidinger in 1864, was an Austrian mineralogist. Early life Haidinger's father was the mineralogist Karl Haidinger (1756–1797), who died when Wilhelm was only two years old. The books on mineralogy and the collection of rocks and minerals of his father almost certainly had raised the interest of young Wilhelm. The collection of his uncle, banker Jakob Friedrich van der Nüll, was by far larger and much more precious, even to such a degree that famous professor Friedrich Mohs of Freiberg (Germany) had been asked to describe it in detail. Young Wilhelm Haidinger and the professor often met in the house of Wilhelm's uncle. After completing the ''Normalschule'' and the ''Grammatikalschule'', Wilhelm started out his preacademical training at the local ''Gymnasium''. However, after completing only his first year, the ''Humanitätsclasse'', Wilhelm (now 17 years old) was asked by professor Friedri ...
