Who was the first person he married?

Albert had met Mileva Marić at the Institute and at a patent office in Switzerland. She was a Serbian mathematician, but was very knowledgeable in physics as well. Albert had considered Mileva an equal to him because they both shared a large knowledge of maths and physics.


Albert had fallen in love with Mileva, and both had a daughter, Lierserl, in 1902. But they put Lierserl up for adoption because they weren’t married. In 1903, Mileva and Albert got married. They had a son, Hans Albert, in 1904, but they called him Albertli.


In 1910 they had their second son, Eduard, they called him Tete or Tetel. Albert and Mileva’s life was unhappy. They didn’t agree that Mileva should be working at home, while Albert worked on maths and physics.


Problems between them led to their divorce in 1919.
