Kalender#

Calendar, the Julian calendar, with the 25th of December as the beginning of the year, was used in Austria well into the 16th century; at the end the 16th century there was, however, a discrepancy of 10 days between the length of a solar year and the year according to the Julian calendar. The new Gregorian calendar was introduced in 1582 (October 4 was followed by October 15), it was introduced in Salzburg and the Tirol in 1583 (October 5 was followed by October 15), in Styria December 14 was followed by December 25. Austria and Bohemia introduced it in 1584 (January 6 followed by January 16), in Hungary January 22 followed by February 2 (legally established in 1588), and the Protestant countries introduced it in 1700.
