What day was Ludwig van Beethoven really born?

I heard that he wasn't really born on December 16th, 1770 but in "Peanuts", Schroeder always celebrated his birthday on December 16th.

    Calendars changed between that time and our current one.

    Washington, was example, was not actually born on February 21 in that time period.

    The was an 11 day adjustment to the calendar in the 1700s sometime.

    Go toi Wikipedia and look up Calendar adjustments.

    He was said to be born on December 16th, 1770. He died on March 26, 1827. Like they said, he was baptized on the 17th.

    December 16th, 1770. The 17th was when he was baptized. Back then you weren't considered alive unless you surrendered your eternal soul to Jesus.
