!!!Kalender

Calendar, the Julian calendar, with the 25%%sup th/%  of December as 
the beginning of the year, was used in Austria well into the 
16%%sup th/%  century; at the end the 16%%sup th/%  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.
