Suleiman besieges Vienna from 27 September to 15 October 1529, but the city successfully defends itself.

The siege lasted just over two weeks, from 27 September to 15 October 1529. Suleiman attacked with over 100,000 men against a garrison of 21,000 led by Niklas Graf Salm. Vienna survived the assault, marking a significant halt to Ottoman expansion into Europe.
