Where

Freud was born in Moravia in 1856 but his family moved to Vienna in 1860.

The city remained his home until 1938 when the Anschluss, the incorporation of Austria into the Nazi Reich, obliged him to make a reluctant departure for London.

Student

Freud graduated as a doctor of medicine in 1881, and his early research and publications dealt with anatomy and physiology.
