In my hometown, like in many central European towns is a plague column, commemorating a deadly plague epidemics that happened in the 17th century. The story goes that it was caused by the Habsburg royal court fleeing the plague from Vienna & staying in the town for a few days before continuing onward. Of course there were some people already infected in the royal court, the infection spread to the town people as well and many died.
