May 17, 1648
A Franco-Swedish army under Wrangel and Turenne intercepted an Imperial-Bavarian force retreating through Bavaria. The Imperial commander Melander was killed early in the fighting, and the rear-guard was destroyed. It was the last major land engagement of the Thirty Years' War, fought while peace negotiations at Münster and Osnabrück were nearly complete.
