Vienna, 1683 | The Siege That Stopped an Empire in Europe

Vienna, 1683 was more than a siege. It was a turning point that reshaped Europe. In the summer of 1683, the Ottoman Empire brought one of the largest armies in its history to the gates of Vienna. After weeks of bombardment, starvation, disease, and collapsing defenses, the city stood on the edge of destruction. Fewer than sixteen thousand defenders remained. Relief seemed impossible. This documentary tells the full story of the Siege of Vienna — from the Ottoman campaign led by Kara Mustafa Pasha, to the desperate defense under Ernst Rüdiger von Starhemberg, and finally the arrival of the allied relief army commanded by John III Sobieski. We explore: Why Vienna mattered strategically and religiously How Ottoman siege tactics nearly broke the city The role of faith, politics, and timing in the defense The largest cavalry charge in history Why this defeat marked the end of Ottoman expansion into Central Europe The failure at Vienna did not destroy the Ottoman Empire — but it stopped its advance into Christian Central Europe and shifted the balance of power for generations.
