Lützen, Battle of

Years: 1632 - 1632

The Battle of Lützen (1632) is one of the most decisive battles of the Thirty Years' War.

It is a Protestant victory, but costs the life of one of the most important leaders of the Protestant alliance, Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden, which causes the Protestant campaign to lose direction.

"History never repeats itself, but the Kaleidoscopic combinations of the pictured present often seem to be constructed out of the broken fragments of antique legends."

― Mark Twain, The Gilded Age (1874)
