1530-07-01-Erfurt	1 July 1530 JL	A strange incident of stones thrown by an unknown person in the quarter of the weavers is followed by a plague in Erfurt.	Auf Johannis Baptistae hatts angefangen mit steinen zu werffen in der webergassen bey S. Andreas gantzer viii tage, vnd hat grosse steine geworffen bey zweien und dreyen pfunden vnd kleiner vber die heusser her am hellen tage, vnd hatt viel fenster ausgeworffen vnder den Tuchmachern, vnd hatt kein mensch kunt wissen wer es that oder gethan hatte. Der Rath zu Erffurd vnd die gemeine hat tapfer tag vnd nacht gewacht, es hatt nichts geholfen. Es hatt vnder die wechter geworffen, vnd man hatt die steine frey sehen niederfallen. Aber nicht gesehen, wo sie herkommen sindt. Darauf ist ein gross pestilentz gefolget.	On St. John the Baptist's Day (1530), it began with throwing stones in the Webergasse near St. Andreas Church for a full eight days, and large stones were thrown, some weighing two or three pounds or smaller, over the houses in broad daylight. Many windows were broken among the weavers, and no one knew who did it or had done it. The council of Erfurt and the community bravely kept watch day and night, but it was of no use. Stones were thrown among the guards, and people could see the stones falling freely. However, they could not see where they came from. After that, a great pestilence followed.
