Life and work Posewitz was born in Szepes-Igló (or Zipser Neudorf or Spišská Nová Ves), now in Slovakia to a German speaking Saxon family, from a community known as Zipser Germans who had immigrated into Hungary. His father Samuel (1800–1871) was a physician married to Emeline Karafiáth (1815–1896) and they had two daughters and four sons including Theodor, the third son. Theodor studied at the local Lutheran school and became interested in nature thanks to visits into the Tatra Mountains where his father owned a Priessnitz-method hydropathy sanatorium. He went to study medicine at the University of Budapest, also taking courses in the natural sciences. He then moved to the University of Vienna and completed his medical exams in 1872.
