### Fussballfreies Tagesrätsel ###

Herzlich Willkommen beim Gedenktag-Rätsel aus meinem Abreisskalender. Dieses Rätsel dient der Einhaltung der gesetzlich vorgeschriebenen 1,5%-Kulturcontentquote. Letzte Woche ging es um Kardinal Mazarin, und das war scheinbar einfach.

Nun zur heutigen Frage: Was geschah heute vor 450 Jahren, am 18. Juli 1552???

Viel Spaß, los geht's!

(Und nicht wieder meckern, wenn Du es nicht weisst, Thomaldo! *g*)

Zur Erläuterung: Vor 450 Jahren, am 18. Juli 1552, wurde der deutsche Kaiser Rudolf II. in Wien geboren. Er residierte in Prag, wo er viel Zeit seinen künstlerischen und wissenschaftlichen Interessen widmete. Seine gegenreformatorischen Bestrebungen und seine zunehmende Inaktivität führten zu einer Verschwörung gegen ihn und er musste Ungarn, Mähren, Österreich und später auch Böhmen abtreten. Erinnert an Rudolf Scharping, oder?
