Peter Stern von Labach
Peter Stern von Labach (* 15th century ; † 16th century ) was a war secretary to the later Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire , Ferdinand I , and imperial court advisor in the service of the Habsburgs .
Life
During the first siege of Vienna in September and October 1529 by the Turks , he wrote a precise chronicle of the city's defense. On October 14th the siege was called off after the main attack had failed, and on November 12th Hieronymus Vietor , the most important Viennese printer at the time, published Stern von Labach's eyewitness report. Among other things, this formed the basis of a long poem by Hans Sachs about the history of the Turkish siege of the city of Vienna on December 21, 1529.
