Happy 236 Birthday, Christian Ludwig Brehm!
Let's celebrate with lunch at the Rock Island Ale House at noon on 24 January 2023!
Christian Ludwig Brehm (24 January 1787 – 23 June 1864) was a German pastor and ornithologist. Brehm was born in Schönau near Gotha on 24 January 1787. He was educated at University of Jena to be ordained as minister at Renthendorf in 1813 where he remained until his death on 23 June 1864.[2] He wrote Beiträge zur Vogelkunde (1820–22), which described 104 species of German birds in minute detail,[3] and Handbuch der Naturgeschichte aller Vögel Deutschlands (1831) which described 900 bird species. Brehm accumulated a collection of 15,000 birds from Sudan, Egypt and throughout Europe until his death, which included samples from his son, Alfred Brehm. The collection eventually ended up in the Ornithology Department of the Museum Koenig, located in Bonn.
