Abstract
The comet that was visible in the sky over Europe during the winter of 1618/19 was often interpreted as a harbinger of the coming Thirty Years War. This article examines since when a connection between the comet as a celestial phenomenon and the historical event was drawn and how the budding war influenced the medial feedback regarding the comet. To this end, different types of publications are compared to reactions to the previous comet from the year 1607.
