Excerpt from Wikipedia:
“On May 29, 1613, heavy thunderstorms broke out over parts of Thuringia and caused many rivers to rise by several meters within a few hours. The area affected was from Mühlhausen, Langensalza and Artern in the north to Stadtilm and Ichtershausen in the south, from Erfurt and Gotha in the west to Naumburg in the east. The storm catastrophe is described as the “Thuringian Flood” in the chronicles of many towns: In Kahla there were several fatalities, in Jena large parts of the city were flooded. In Zottelstedt near Apolda the water level of the Ilm rose by 6 to 8 m and almost completely destroyed the village in the area along the banks. In Apolda itself eight houses were washed away and 24 animals drowned. In Weimar 44 houses were destroyed in the flood disaster, in Bad Berka 23 houses, in Erfurt 125 houses. In Mattstedt the water level of the Ilm rose by 6 meters and flooded the entire lower village. The catastrophe resulted in further development of the town being moved to higher ground. In Bad Sulza, the saltworks that had been built on the Ilm just a few years earlier fell victim to the flood, but were rebuilt on the same site.

The total number of fatalities is given as 2,261 people. Historical flood events such as the Thuringian Flood also play an important role in current research on this topic as extreme hydrological and meteorological situations."
