The Battle of Vienna took place at Kahlenberg Mountain near Vienna on 12 September 1683 after the city had been besieged by the Ottoman Empire for two months. The battle was fought between an Ottoman army commanded by Grand Vizier Kara Mustafa Pasha and a coalition of Imperial, German and Polish Crown forces under the overall command of King John III Sobieski of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth. The main Lithuanian army did not arrive in time to participate in the battle.
