The great Austrian composer Haydn, whose head was 145 years away

The great Austrian composer Haydn died in 1809 and was buried in an old cemetery in Vienna.

One night shortly after Haydn's burial, two men invaded his cemetery and cut off the composer's head.

They believe that studying the brains of great people can uncover the secrets of genius.

In vain, one of them kept Haydn's head until his own death in 1839.

The widow of this grave robber fidgeted every day in the face of this terrible treasure.

Finally, she gave her head to a doctor.'s family friend.

After thirteen years of preserving Haydn's head, doctors gave it to the director of a prestigious pathological institute in Vienna.

Fortunately, on his deathbed, the professor gave Haydn's head to the "Society of Friends of Music" in Vienna.

At this time, everyone suddenly learned the bitter history of Haydn's head.

Public opinion was in an uproar, and people unanimously demanded an end to this tragic incident.

On 5 June 1954, Austria held a new funeral for Haydn.

Haydn's head wandered away from his body for almost 145 years before finally returning to its original place.
