Albert Einstein was born on March 14, 1879 in Ulm, Württemberg, Germany (Source #1). Albert Einstein was a German mathematician and physicist who developed the special and general theories of relativity (Source #1). Six weeks after little Albert was born, his family and him moved to Munich, Germany (Source #3). In the early days of Albert, at the age of 5, his journey began when his father gave him a compass.
