Erfurt latrine disaster

12th-century accident in the Holy Roman Empire

On 26 July 1184, Henry VI, King of Germany, held a Hoftag at the cathedral provostry in Erfurt. The combined weight of the assembled nobles caused the wooden second story floor of the building to collapse. Most of the attendants fell through into the latrine cesspit below the ground floor, where about 60 of them drowned in liquid excrement. This event is called the Erfurter Latrinensturz in several German sources.
