1803

Friedrich Reinhold Kreutzwald (26 December 1803 – 25 August 1882) was an Estonian writer who is considered to be the father of the national literature for the country.

He is the author of Estonian national epic Kalevipoeg.

Friedrich Reinhold Kreutzwald's parents were serfs at the Jömper estate, Governorate of Estonia, Russian Empire (in present-day Jõepere, Lääne-Viru County).

His father Juhan worked as a shoemaker and granary keeper and his mother Anne was a chambermaid.

After liberation from serfdom in 1815, the family was able to send their son to school at the Wesenberg (present-day Rakvere) district school.

1820

In 1820, he graduated from secondary school in Dorpat (present-day Tartu, Tartu County, Estonia) and worked as an elementary school teacher.

1833

In 1833, Kreutzwald graduated from the Faculty of Medicine at the Imperial University of Dorpat.

Kreutzwald married Marie Elisabeth Saedler on 18 August the same year.

From 1833 to 1877, he worked as the municipal physician in Werro (present-day Võru).

He was the member of numerous scientific societies in Europe and received honorary doctorates from a number of universities.

Kreutzwald is the author of several moralistic folk books, most of them translated into German: Plague of Wine 1840, The World and Some Things One Can Find in It 1848–49, Reynard the Fox 1850, and Wise Men of Gotham 1857.
