From 898, when first mentioned, to 1215 Nordlingen was subject to the bishops of See also:Regensburg, but about 1215 it became a free See also:city of the See also:Empire. It was annexed to Bavaria in 1803.
Nordlingen was the See also:scene of two See also:great battles in the See also:Thirty Years' See also:War (q.v.). In the first, which was fought on the 5th and 6th of See also:September 1634, the hitherto invincible See also:Swedish See also:army, commanded by See also:Duke Bernhard of See also:Saxe See also:Weimar and See also:Marshal See also:Horn, was defeated with great loss by a somewhat See also:superior army of Imperialists and Spaniards under See also:General See also:Gallas, Horn and 3000 men being made prisoners and 6000 killed or mortally wounded. In the second See also:battle, fought eleven years later (3rd See also:August 1645), See also:Conde (then duke of See also:Enghien) and See also:Turenne were the leaders on the one See also:side, and See also:Mercy and Johann von Weert, the dashing See also:cavalry See also:commander whose onset had decided the battle of 1634, on the other. The Germans were posted some 5 M. to the See also:east of Nordlingen, about Allerheim, with their right resting on a See also:- HILL

hill and the See also:left on a See also:castle, the guns with an See also:infantry escort being placed on these points, and the See also:village itself in the centre being also garrisoned and entrenched. In See also:rear of the village the See also:plain was occupied by Mercy's army in the customary two lines, See also:foot in the centre, See also:horse in the wings. The See also:French army, similarly arrayed, but with a few battalions attached to the cavalry wings, was more heterogeneous than the See also:German, being composed of French, See also:Hessian, German mercenaries, and Liegeois. After a cannonade in which it suffered more severely than its entrenched enemy, the French centre furiously attacked the village of Allerheim; the fighting here was very heavy, and on the whole in favour of the Germans, although Mercy was killed. The right wing of the French cavalry was swept off the See also:- FIELD (a word common to many West German languages, cf. Ger.

time for his second to come up, he then charged and See also:broke up the hostile right wing of cavalry, while some battalions of infantry scaled the hill and captured the Bavarian guns. Unlike Weert the marshal kept his troops in See also:hand, and swung See also:round upon the Bavarian infantry behind Allerheim, who were at the same time cannonaded by their lost guns. A prolonged fight now ensued, in which the Bavarians had the worst of it, and Weert, returning at last to the field, dared not See also:attempt to engage afresh. The armies faced one another all See also:night with their sentries fifty paces apart, but in the See also:morning the Bavarians were found to have retreated. Nothing was gained by the victors but the trophies and the field of battle, and the losses of both sides had been enormous. Enghien had only 1500 of his foot in hand next day. Nordlingen, therefore, is a classical instance of the unprofitable and costly bataille See also:ranger of the 17th century.
