Observations of 404 occurrences of the aurora borealis recorded in Central Europe during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries are compared with known phase relationships between auroral activity and sunspot cycles in modern times. A satisfactory coincidence of the aurora borealis with current sunspot cycles is found, both with respect to phase-dependent frequency and to the delayed maxima. The 118 occurrences during the `Maunder minimum' of solar activity show the same degree of coincidence with the sunspot cycles of that period.
