I suppose it's either cutting the birth range in half or trying to hunt for a scientific specialty; I'll go for the easier one...

Born after 1810?

You are correct!

Sorry for the mild birthplace trap (I wasn't intending this round to be challenging) but you got there in the end.

Nice game, I was very surprised when he didn't show up on the list of previous picks since it seems like someone who would have been picked long ago. The langauge/birthplace issue is always a bit challenging although it helps turn super well known picks like Freud into better candidates since it makes the game a bit harder. Much appreciated.

I will try to get a new game up sometime soon.

I brushed the thought of him aside because I was sure he was Austrian.

Technically he was, not not within the exact parameters of the question about Austria asked in this game.

Good game, everyone! I was going to guess Alexander von Humboldt, until we established that the subject was born outside of modern Germany. Then I was stumped!
My username, and most of my posts made before 2020, are ironic.
