About
Who would have thought that Johann Mendel would be born in Heinzendorf, today in Hynčice, in Moravské Kravařsko, today in the district of Nový Jičín, in Lower Silesia, today in the Moravian-Silesian Region, in Austria-Hungary, today in the territory of the Czech Republic. In the middle of summer and harvest 200 years ago - 7/20/1822 - it really happened. However, the founder of genetics, discoverer of the basic laws of heredity, meteorologist, beekeeper and astronomer, born into a German family, was of one-quarter Czech descent, and his parents – Rosine and Anton – probably had no idea what their little son had achieved in his life. And what does it look like in the place where he lived for the first eleven years of his life today?
