Life

Skraup was born in Prague and attended the Oberrealschule from 1860 till 1866 and studied at the Technical University of Prague from 1866 till 1871. After being assistant of Heinrich Ludwig Buff for less than a year he worked at a china factory but changed to the mint in Vienna in 1873.

He became assistant of Rochleder in 1873, although a promotion in his old job was granted. Rochleder died the following year, but Scraup stayed with his successors Franz Schneider and Adolf Lieben.

He received his Ph. D from the University of Gießen March 17, 1875. He finished his habilitation at the University of Vienna in 1879, but because his degree was from a German university he had to wait until 1881 till he became Professor at the Vienna Trade Academie.

In 1886 he changed to the University of Graz and to the University of Vienna in 1906.
