Uranium was discovered (as an oxide) in 1789 in Germany by Martin Heinrich Klaproth; but the mineral pitchblende was from Jachimow, now in Czech Republic and from Johanngeorgenstadt, now in Germany. The laboratory of Klaproth was in Berlin.

In 1841 Eugene Melchior Peligot obtained uranium as a pure metal.
