We want to entertain people with history which is entertaining, visually pleasing and grounded in scholarship at the same time. Our golden rules: 1) We only use academic sources and always try to stick to the consensus opinion. 2) We always list our sources in description of our videos. 3) We make clear when we deviate from the prior two rules. Education: Between the two of us we hold two Master's degrees in history from the university of Bern and one degree as a history teacher from the Bern University of Teacher Education. Both of us worked at the University of Bern as teaching assistants. We wrote an article about our experience as content creators (ed. by Dr. Kilian Baur and Robert Trautmannsberger): https://www.degruyter.com/document/doi/10.1515/9783110792898-005/html We also held a few talks about our journey on YouTube at the universities of Eichstätt, Fribourg and Zürich. We taught a seminar about history on YouTube at the University of Zurich in spring of 2024.

On September 25, 1529, for the first time, an Ottoman army arrived at the Austrian capital of Vienna. Their arrival marked the beginning of a siege characterized by subterranean warfare, nasty weather, and serious supply problems. The siege of Vienna was rather short, but it was without doubt an event of pan-European importance. It ended the perceived invincibility that had surrounded the Ottoman army just when it had come closer to central Europe than ever before. For centuries this event had extraordinary symbolic power, but it is now overshadowed by the second Ottoman siege in 1683. In this video we present the story of the first Ottoman siege of Vienna which was no less staggering than the second one.
