omfg!! he was not austrian! He was Czech!!! He lived in the city Brno

[missimpuk]

Please send us a copy of his passport.

Born July 22 1822. Perhaps he had dual nationality? Some biographies say Austrian and some say Czech.

[eimstudent]

I just read a biography. He lived in Brno most of his life, but he was born in the Austro-Hungarian empire. He spoke German and had to learn Czech during his studies. Also, the monastery he lived in (and was abbot of after his experiments on peas) was a Germanic monastery.

[missimpuk]

He was one cool multi-lingual, multi-national European dude!

[KrissVesper]

Actually, Gregor Mendel was a Czech...

[missimpuk]

Mendel was born into a German-speaking family in Heinzendorf, Austrian Silesia, Austrian Empire (now Hynčice, Czech Republic),

[jenneilicious]

British people shouldn't rap.
