\nBirth, family<\/strong><\/h3>\nLudwig van Beethoven \u2013 presumably – was born on 16 December 1770, in Bonn<\/a>. What we know as a fact is the date of his baptism, which took place on the 17. at the Parish of St. Regius. Since in that era in Catholic Rhine country children were baptized on the next day following birth, this date is the best we can offer.<\/p>\n
