==Early years== Riemann was born on 17 September 1826 in [[Breselenz]], a village near [[Dannenberg (Elbe)|Dannenberg]] in the [[Kingdom of Hanover]]. His father, Friedrich Bernhard Riemann, was a poor [[Lutheranism|Lutheran]] pastor in Breselenz who fought in the [[Napoleonic Wars]]. His mother, Charlotte Ebell, died in 1846. Riemann was the second of six children. Riemann exhibited exceptional mathematical talent, such as calculation abilities, from an early age but suffered from timidity and a fear of speaking in public, and had frail health.<ref>Watson, P.
