Rudolf Schrödinger was born in 1857 in Vienna. He had inherited a linoleum factory from his father, which supplied his income, but he longed to be a botanist. He also published several papers on zoology.[1]
In 1886 Rudolf married Georgine Bauer, whose father Alexander had been Rudolf's professor at the Technical University. A year later their son Edwin was born, their only child.
Rudolf died in 1919.[2]
