Birth(+)Fact(x)Death(-) Calendar

There is dispute about the cause of Beethoven's death: alcoholic cirrhosis, syphilis, infectious hepatitis, lead poisoning, sarcoidosis and Whipple's disease have all been proposed. Most probably Beethoven was accidentally poisoned to death by excessive doses of lead-based treatments administered under instruction from his doctor.
(26 March 1827)



There are 3395 births, 3960 deaths, 1122 murders, 498 disasters and 2088 other events about 5749 people in 6462 places until today.

Birth(+)Fact(x)Death(-) Calendar is an ongoing project since 1985 by DDV.
