A Day to Remember: Historical Events of October 29th!

On October 29th, history produced many defining moments that continue to resonate today. Martin Luther held the first German mass in the castle church of Wittenberg in 1525, thereby laying the foundation for the reform movement. Another great day was in 1820, when Gioacchino Rossini's opera “The Barber of Seville” was premiered in Braunschweig. This event attracted numerous music lovers and quickly became the favorite work of many opera fans. The imperial era also left its mark, because in 1855 Emperor Franz Josef I signed the document establishing the “k.k. privileged Oesterreichische Credit-Anstalt für Handel und Gewerbe”, an institution that is still important today.

The year 1915 was marked by military conflicts. On this day, the Battle of Kragujevac began, which ended with the Austrian occupation. The Italian troops also captured several Austrian positions in the Dolomites. But there was movement not only on the battlefield, as Aristide Briand was elected French Prime Minister for the third time that day, further consolidating his role in politics.

October 29th is not only a date that represents historical events, but also notable birthdays.
