The Assassination of Karl von Stürgkh, the Prime Minister of the government of Cisleithania, took place on October 21, 1916, in the Meissl & Schadn Hotel in Vienna. Karl von Stürgkh, at that time acting head of cabinet of the Austrian part of the monarchy was shot three times by Austrian social democrat Friedrich Adler and died immediately. However due to the ongoing World War I and the later death of the Austrian Emperor Francis Joseph I, the event was left aside from a larger public response.
