Great Plague of Vienna

Years: 1679 - 1679

The Great Plague of Vienna, which occurs in 1679 in Vienna, Austria, the imperial residence of the Austrian Habsburg rulers, is believed to have been bubonic plague.

The city is crippled by the epidemic, which will recur fitfully into the early 1680s, killing an estimated seventy-six thousand residents.

"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."

― George Santayana, The Life of Reason (1905)
