He made some early observations of the fracture of comet 3D / Biela into two pieces on 15 January 1846 and reobserved both fragments in 1852.

Relatively little seems to be recorded of Biela's personal life: he was married to Anna ( Edle von Wallenstern ) and they had a daughter Emilie Freiin von Biela, born in 1820 and married in Rovigo to Moritz, Graf Forgách, another Austrian infantry officer, by whom she had two children.

The race was run for two more years, ( won by Paul Radisich again in 1994 at Donington Park in a Ford Mondeo, manufacturer title went to BMW, and Frank Biela in 1995 at Paul Ricard in an Audi A4 Quattro, and manufacturer title went to Audi ).

Biela continued to compete in the DTM in 1988, and also raced a limited season in German Formula Three, scoring two wins.

Biela comfortably won the title, finishing every single race and being classified in the top ten in all but two races ( an 11th place finish and a disqualification ).

Other comets that bore the possessive include " Biela's Comet " ( 3D / Biela ) and " Miss Herschel's Comet " ( 35P / Herschel-Rigollet, or Comet Herschel-Rigollet ).

The comet was named after Biela, although there was initially some controversy due to a later but independent discovery by Jean-Félix Adolphe Gambart, who also provided the first mathematical proof linking the 1826 and 1805 comets ( letters from Biela and Gambart were published in the same issue of the Astronomische Nachrichten ).

The German astronomer Karl Ristenpart attempted several times to prove a link with the comet now known as 18D / Perrine-Mrkos, which had a very similar orbit to Biela apart from a differing Argument of Perihelion.

After winning the ALMS series in 2003, Biela returned to the revamped German touring car series, driving an Audi for Joest Racing ( the team which had run Biela's R8 for his three Le Mans wins ); the season was not a success.

One speculation, first suggested in 1883, is that the occurrence of the Peshtigo and Chicago fires on the same day was not just a coincidence, but that both fires ( and other major, simultaneous fires in Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin ) were caused by the impact of fragments from Comet Biela.

Biela's Comet or Comet Biela ( official designation: 3D / Biela ) was a periodic Jupiter-family comet first recorded in 1772 by Montaigne and Messier and finally identified as periodic in 1826 by Wilhelm von Biela.

Others, such as Laurent Aïello, Tom Kristensen, Dindo Capello, Frank Biela, Marco Werner, Lucas Luhr, Alexandre Prémat, Jaroslav Janiš, and Alain Menu have made their career racing in sports cars and touring cars.

Emanuele Pirro, Frank Biela and Marco Werner made history by becoming the first drivers to win the Le Mans 24-hour race in a diesel-powered car.

In connexion with that, one of the first trolleybus lines in the world was opened in Saxon Switzerland, the Biela Valley Trolleybus, that was in operation from 1901 to 1904 and worked out of Königstein.

It was Wilhelm von Biela, an army officer serving at the fortress town of Josefstadt, who observed the comet during its 1826 perihelion approach ( on February 27 ) and calculated its orbit, discovering it to be periodic with a period of 6. 6 years.

Professor Adam Biela spoke of the " Copernican revolution in the Social Sciences, brought about by her having given life to a ' paradigm of unity ' which shows the new psychological, social and economic dimensions which today's post-communist society has been waiting for in this new and difficult transitional phase ".

Biela stayed with the company, and with the rise of the two-litre Class 2 ( Super Touring ) rules in other series across Europe, he was entered in various European touring car series over the following few seasons such as the French Supertouring Championship in 1993 driving the Audi 80 ( in which he won the championship in ) entered by Audi into the championship pairing alongside Marc Sourd.

Baron Wilhelm von Biela (; March 19, 1782 – February 18, 1856 ) was a German-Austrian military officer and amateur astronomer.

He was a descendant of a prominent Protestant noble family originally from what is now the Czech Republic, the family having been exiled to Saxony after its head, Friedrich von Biela, was executed in Prague in 1621 during the religious wars of the period.

Biela was the last member of his branch of the family.

After study at military college in Dresden, Biela joined the Austrian army in 1802, serving as a cadet in the Infantry Regiment ' Graf Stuart ' Nr.

In 1815 Biela went to Prague, where he commenced study of astronomy under Marin Alois David.

The lunar crater Biela is named after him.

In the 1840s Biela retired to Venice, where he died in 1856.
