Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche was born in Röcken, Saxony, Germany. He was a German philosopher, critic, poet, and Latin and Greek scholar whose work has exerted a profound influence on Western philosophy and modern intellectual history.

He was only 24 years old and had neither completed his doctorate nor received a teaching certificate. He was awarded an honorary doctorate by the University of Leipzig.
