          Brother of Ludwig van Beethoven

          Nikolaus Johann van Beethoven (2 October 1776 – 12 January 1848)[2] was a brother of the composer Ludwig van Beethoven.

          Life

          He was born in Bonn, youngest son of Johann van Beethoven and his wife Maria Magdalena Keverich.[3] He trained to be a pharmacist; he moved in 1795 to Vienna, where his brothers Ludwig and Kaspar lived.

          He wished to be known as Johann, in memory of their late father. He worked in Vienna as a pharmacist's assistant, and in 1808 he opened a pharmacy in Linz.[4][5]

          In 1809, Napoleon invaded Austria, establishing base camp in Linz for wounded soldiers.

          Johann supplied the French army with their medical needs; this enabled Johann to prosper.[4][5]

          In 1812 Johann announced that he intended to marry Thérèse Obermeyer, his housekeeper.
