Sigmund Freud Although Sigismund Schlomo Freud Sischa, later shortened to Sigmund Freud, spent only three years of his life in his native Příbor, he never forget this Moravian town. As a respected psychoanalyst who knew how childhood affects our future development, he recalled the sound of the bells of the local church. He writes about his nanny, Monica Zajíc. In his works, he calls Příbor 'home' and Moravia his homeland. Johann Gregor Mendel One of the most recognised natives who brought fame to Moravské Kravařsko, as well as all of Moravia is, without a doubt, Johann Gregor Mendel. The founder of genetics and the man who discovered the laws of heredity was born in Hynčice u Vražného. He spent most of his life in Brno as a member of the Augustinian Order, and when he died, his requiem at the church was conducted by Leoš Janáček. Leoš Janáček Leos Janacek, famous composer, was born in 1854 in the mountain village of Hukvaldy. He studied music in Brno, Prague, Vienna and Leipzig. In Brno, he founded a conservatory and, as a young composer, conducted the memorial service for Johann Gregor Mendel. Petra Kvitová Petra Kvitová was born in 1990, and her biographies list her place of birth as Bílovec. But this is only because Fulnek does not have its own maternity ward. Her life—as well as her early athletic career—are intimately tied to Fulnek, the city she calls home. After she won the Wimbledon tennis tournament on 2011, she also became an honorary citizen of the city. Jaromír Nohavica One of the most famous czech songwriters was born and still lives in Ostrava.
