The fifth cholera pandemic was the fifth major outbreak of cholera that occurred in the years 1881-1896. The 1892 outbreak in Hamburg, Germany was the only major European outbreak; about 8,600 people died in Hamburg. Although generally held responsible for the virulence of the epidemic, the city government went largely unchanged. This was the last serious European cholera outbreak.
