Biographies: Sigmund Freud--Childhood


Figure 1.--Here we see Sigmund at about 3 years of age wearing a white sailor suit with a bobby horse. This was probably a studio prop because living in a rented room, we doubt if there was space or money for a hobby horse.

Sigmund Schlomo Freud was born in Freiberg in the Czech Lands, then part of the Austrian Empire (1856). He was born with a caul/cowl which his mother who was a little supertitios saw as a positive omen for the her son's future. We do not know much about Freud's childhood. When he was 4 years old his family moved to seek better oprospects (1859). And it would be Vienna where he live and worked until the last year of his life where he was forced out by the NAZIs (1938). We do not know much about his childhood, but Sigmund was very close to his half brother Emanuel's son, John. His half brothers would emigrate to Manchester, England, parting him from John. Sigmund's sister, Anna, was born (1858). A brother Julius had been born (1857), but ied in infancy). Jakob first took the family to Leipzig, but finslly decided on Vienna (1860). There in Vienna four sisters and a brother were born. His immediate family with Jakob and Amalia Nathansohn were: Rosa (1860), Marie (1861), Adolfine (1862), Paula (1864), and finally Alexander (1866).
