Yes, Albert Einstein was born in the Kingdom of Württemberg in the German Empire on March 14, 1879, but his early years were spent in Austria. His family moved to Munich when he was an infant, and later, in 1896, he became a Swiss citizen while still holding Austrian citizenship until 1914. His time in Austria played a significant role in shaping his intellectual development, and he later categorized himself as a person of Austrian origin. Thus, while he was born in Germany, his strong connections to Austria mark an important part of his identity.
