was born in

(Josef von Fraunhofer was a German physicist and an extremely skilled optician
who designed achromatic objective lenses for telescopes. He also built the
first diffraction grating, comprised of 260 close parallel wires. He was born
in Straubing, Germany, on March 6, 1787 and died of tuberculosis before he was
forty years old in Munich, Germany, on June 7, 1826.)
Inan visiting Christian Doppler Research Institute and Memorial located at
Makartplatz 1, A-5020 Salzburg, Austria.

(Christian Andreas Doppler was an Austrian physicist who developed the
theory of Doppler effect and presented it at the Royal Bohemian Society on May
25, 1842. Doppler was born in Salzburg, Austria, on November 29, 1803. While he
was working as the Director of the Institute of Physics at Vienna University in
Vienna, Austria, his health had so deteriorated with severe chest problems that
in November 1852, he took a six-month leave and traveled to Venice, Italy, with
the hope that the warmer climate would help to change the course of his
tuberculosis. By March 1853, it was clear that his health condition was sinking
fast and he died in Venice on March 17, 1853.)
Inan visiting Boltzmann's grave located at Zentral Friedhof (Central
Cemetery), Plot: Group 14C, Number 1, in Vienna, Austria.

(Ludwig Edward Boltzmann was an Austrian physicist who was born in Vienna,
Austria, on February 20, 1844. He studied under Josef Stefan and was awarded a
doctorate degree from the University of Vienna in 1866. After he taught at the
University of Graz, he moved to Heidelberg where he worked under Bunsen for
several months in 1869 and then moved to Berlin where he worked under Kirchhoff
and Helmholtz in 1871. In 1890, he was appointed to the Chair of the
Theoretical Physics at the University of Munich. In 1893, Stefan died and
Boltzmann succeeded his position at University of Vienna. Despite his defense
of his theories, Boltzmann's work on atomic structure was strongly opposed and
attacked by many European scientists, they misunderstood his ideas and did not
fully grasp the statistical nature of his reasoning. Depressed and in bad
health, while he was on holiday with his wife and daughter, Boltzmann committed
suicide by hanging himself and died in Duino, near Trieste, Italy, on September
5, 1906. His equation S = k log W relating entropy and disorder was engraved on the
headstone of his grave.)

Inan family (Cem, Belgin, Baris and Aziz) visiting St. Stephens Cathedral (Stephansdom) located in Stephansplatz 3, Vienna 1010, Austria.

(St. Stephen's Cathedral (more commonly known by its German title: Stephansdom) is the mother church of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Vienna and the seat of the Archbishop of Vienna, Christoph Cardinal Schönborn, OP. The current Romanesque and Gothic form of the cathedral, seen today in the Stephansplatz, was largely initiated by Duke Rudolf IV (1339–1365) and stands on the ruins of two earlier churches, the first a parish church consecrated in 1147. The most important religious building in Vienna, St. Stephen's Cathedral has borne witness to many important events in Habsburg and Austrian history and has, with its multi-coloured tile roof, become one of the city's most recognizable symbols.)
