Christian Matthias Theodor Mommsen was a German classical scholar, historian, jurist, journalist, politician and archaeologist. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest classicists of the 19th century. Franz Seraphicus Grillparzer (* 15 January 1791 in Vienna; † 21 January 1872 in Vienna) was an Austrian writer who was primarily known as a dramatist. Due to the identity-forming use of his works, especially after 1945, he is also referred to as the Austrian national poet. Grillparzer was born as the son of Anna Franziska Sonnleithner (* 1767; † 1819), daughter of Christoph Sonnleithner, and the lawyer Wenzel EJ Grillparzer (* 1760; † 1809). He grew up with his heavily indebted parents and siblings in Vienna in a feudal house on the farmers' market and studied law at the University of Vienna. After graduating in 1811, he was first a private tutor, then a civil servant, and in 1813 he entered the Austrian civil service as a draftsman at the Imperial Court Chamber. In 1821 he applied unsuccessfully for the position of scribe in the imperial private library.[1] He was transferred to the Ministry of Finance in 1821, and in 1832 he became director of the archives at the Imperial Court Chamber, later the Ministry of Finance. He held this position until he retired in 1856. Wikipedia
