Albert Einstein was born on March 14 1879 in Ulm, which is located in Württemberg, Germany and died on April 18, 1955 in Princeton, New Jersey, USA. Einstein began his school career in Munich around 1886. He took violin lessons from the age of six to thirteen and also had religious education at home where he was taught Judaism. Albert Einstein led a more or less normal childhood and it was not until later in his life that he developed his true genius.
In 1894 Einstein's family moved to Milan but Einstein remained in Munich where he failed an examination that would have let him study for a diploma as an electrical engineer in Zurich.

Einstein became a teacher of mathematics at the technical high school in Winterthur. He was later appointed a third class technical expert in the patent office, in Bern
