Ludwig von Beethoven - speculative time

I want to get this visible somewhere in case I want it at some point in the future.

Ludwig von Beethoven was born in Bonn, Germany. He was baptized December 17, 1770, which usually occurs one to three days after the child is born. Scholars tend to accept December 16, which Beethoven also believed was his birthday. I accept that as a working premise.

I propose a speculative time of 3:30 PM LAT. This is different from any of the also highly speculative times that have been proposed. To see some reasons why, run the SSR and SLR for his death (March 26, 1827, 5 PM, Vienna, Austria), remembering that he died of a damaged liver which does not show in the natal as vulnerable - but these charts show an assaulted Jupiter. Also, the mundane Mars opposite Mercury and luminaries square Saturn on the angles is a spectacular sign of his deafness.

Directed Moon to natal Saturn for death is also a seeming confirmation of the general time.
