About
Karl Marx was born in Trier, Kingdom of Prussia in 1818. Now this location is Germany. Everybody say he is German.
He was privately educated until 1830, when he entered Trier High School, whose headmaster Hugo Wyttenbach was a friend of his father. Wyttenbach had employed many liberal humanists as teachers. This angered the government, causing the police to raid the school in 1832, when they discovered what they labelled seditious literature that espoused political liberalism being distributed amongst the students. In 1830, Marx began his studies at the Lycée Friedrich Wilhelm, in Trier, the year when revolutions broke out in several European countries. Later joined the University of Bonn to study Law, transferring the next year to the University of Berlin, where the German philosopher Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, whose work had a great influence on Marx, was a professor and dean. In Berlin Marx joined the Doctors' Club, which was led by Bruno Bauer. There he lost interest in the law and turned to philosophy, having actively participated in the movement of the Young Hegelians. His father died in the same year. In 1841, he obtained a doctorate in philosophy with a thesis on "Differences of philosophy of nature in Democritus and Epicurus". Prevented to pursue an academic career, became, in 1842, editor of the Rheinische Zeitung, a journal of the province of Cologne. He met Friedrich Engels in the same year, during a visit to this newspaper's offices.
