There was another siege about a hundred or so years later, in the 1680s around the same time in September (10th or 11th), where the Siege of Vienna ended in Turkish retreat. Most historians mark that as the beginning of the end of Ottoman military supremacy over Christendom.

You are correct and I wasn't aware of that. Apparently, the great battle that broke the second siege of Vienna began on September 11, 1683.
