Evolution of Albert Einstein & His Parents (1847–1955) | Family Timeline

In this video, we trace the family timeline of Albert Einstein and his parents, Hermann Einstein and Pauline Koch - from their lives in 19th-century Germany to the childhood and extraordinary rise of the man who would become one of the most influential scientists in history.

Hermann Einstein was born in 1847 and married Pauline Koch in 1876. Their son Albert was born in Ulm, Germany, on March 14, 1879. The family later moved to Munich, where Hermann and his brother Jakob established an electrical engineering business. Pauline, a talented pianist with a strong interest in music, introduced young Albert to the violin, while his early exposure to science and technology helped shape the curiosity that would define his life.

This chronology follows the Einstein family through changing cities, financial struggles, family relationships, and the early experiences that surrounded Albert before his revolutionary work in physics. Hermann died in 1902, Pauline in 1920, and Albert continued his remarkable journey until his death in 1955 - leaving behind a scientific legacy that permanently changed our understanding of space, time, light, and gravity.
