Joseph Kyselak
Joseph, also Josef Kyselak (22 December 1799 – 17 September 1831) was an Austrian mountaineer and travel writer. He became famous for his habit to tag his name onto prominent places during his hikes across the Austrian Empire.
==Life==
The son of a family of civil servants, Kyselak was born in Vienna, where he attended the Piarist ''Gymnasium'' in the Josefstadt district. After he took his ''Matura'' degree, he worked as a fiscal, from 1825 in the rank of an assessor.
Allegedly as a wager, Kyelak began to write his name onto numerous places in the Habsburg lands and beyond. In 1829 he published a comprehensive account of a 1825 travel through Austria, Styria, Carinthia, Berchtesgaden, Tyrol, and Bavaria to Vienna, describing the engraving on Oberkapfenberg Castle. According to legend, he became so well known that Emperor Francis I of Austria ordered him to stop tagging public buildings and Kyselak promised to comply. The emperor found Kyselak's name carved into his desk following the audience.
Kyselak is even said to have climbed the peak of Mt. Chimborazo in Ecuador, where Alexander von Humboldt found his graffito in 1837. In fact, Humboldt visited the mountain already in 1802. Kyselak died as a victim of an 1831 cholera epidemic in Vienna.
