Life

The son of the carpenter Johann Brein (born December 27, 1910) and the administrative clerk of the Austrian Post and Telegraph Directorate Stefanie Brein (born December 27, 1913) attended the elementary school of the Brothers of Christian Schools in Vienna XVIII from autumn 1946 and the Bundesrealgymnasium from 1950 with descriptive geometry in Vienna XVIII, where he passed his Matura on May 28, 1958 .

He then studied classical archeology, ancient history and classical philology at the University of Vienna , with the dual aim of obtaining a doctorate in classical archeology and ancient history and teaching Greek and Latin . He also took courses in art history , German and Romance philology and Indo-European studies . Professors Fritz Eichler , Hedwig Kenner , Artur Betz , Fritz Schachermeyr , Albin Lesky and Walther Kraus particularly influenced him . He has taught at the University of Vienna since 1971, first as an assistant and lecturer , after completing his habilitation in Classical Archeology in 1982 as a lecturer and finally as an associate professor . Even after his retirement in 2000, he continued to teach.

He knew the archaeological field work, albeit mostly entrusted with the processing of finds, through his own participation in the excavations in Aguntum (1959/60), on Magdalensberg (1961–1964) and in the Artemision of Ephesus (1972–1981). He had been married to Ilse since 1967 and had two sons, Laurenz and Georg. He is buried in the Strebersdorf cemetery .
