The 1895 Lower Silesian earthquake occurred on 11 June 1895 in the Sudetic region of what is now southwestern Poland. It is one of the most important historically documented earthquakes in Silesia and among the best recorded seismic events in the Sudetes before the introduction of instrumental seismology.
The earthquake occurred at approximately 09:27 local time (08:27 UTC) and was felt throughout large parts of historical Silesia and neighbouring regions of the Sudetes. Reports of shaking came from hundreds of towns and villages across present-day Poland, the Czech Republic and parts of the former Austro-Hungarian Empire.
