Birth in Budapest
January 15, 1908
Edward Teller was born in Budapest, Austria-Hungary (now Hungary), into a Jewish family. His father was a lawyer, and Teller displayed an early aptitude for mathematics. This period shaped his intellectual curiosity and resilience, qualities that would be crucial throughout his life.
Studies in Germany
1926-1930
Teller studied mathematics and physics at the University of Karlsruhe and the University of Munich before earning a Ph.D. in physics under Werner Heisenberg at the University of Leipzig. During this time, he tragically lost part of his foot in a streetcar accident in Munich, an event that may have contributed to his later intensity.
