Count Domokos Teleki de Szék was born on September 5, 1773 in Sáromberke, Torda cttus, Transylvania, Kingdom of Hungary as the first son of count Sámuel Teleki de Szék II, Chancellor of Transylvania and countess Zsuzsánna Bethlen de Iktár. He died very young, at the age of 25, but he lived intensely. He studied at western universities, becoming the first president of the Jena Institute of Mineralogy. Upon his returning to Transylvania, the young count worked as a judge at the royal judicial court of Marosvásárhely (now: Tirgu Mures). He died in Marosvásárhely, but his remains are buried in Sáromberke, his native village, in the family burial vault.
