Matter of fact, the Bubonic Plague still kept creeping up on people
(given the sanitary situation, small wonders).

1622 and 1634 half of Bonn was eradicated by it,
1625 in Neubrandenburg,
several times in the 17th century in Emden,
1623 and 1666 in Ostfriesland (Atlantic Coast)
1635 in Beckum (30 km from where I live - accidentally, exactly (to
the day) 320 before I was born the Westphalian Peace Treaty was signed
right here in Muenster).
1618 in Leopoldshafen and Eggenstein (Baden, southern Germany)

You could say the Bubonic Plague didn't care much about being outdated
these days ;-).

Mit freundlichen Gruessen,

Arne Reuter
