Kepler's Timeline

1630

To Main Timeline

He took to the road again in the fall of 1630 to attempt to obtain the salary and arrears due him as Imperial Mathematician. The exertions of the trip brought Kepler to Regensburg a sick man; he died there on November 15, 1630. Kepler was buried in the cemetery of St. Peter’s, outside the town walls. Three years later the cemetery was laid waste during the conquest of Duke Bernhard of Weimar, and the site of Kepler’s grave is today unknown.
