village north of Leipzig (part of the city of Lindenthal since 1913), where two battles were fought during the Thirty Years’ War of 1618-48.

(1) On Sept. 17, 1631, the allied Swedish and Saxon troops under the command of Gustavus II Adolphus (39, 000 men, of whom 16, 000 were Saxons of low combat efficiency, and 75 guns) defeated the troops of the Catholic League under the command of J. Tilly (36, 000 men and 26 guns); this victory opened the way to central and southern Germany to the Swedish troops and was a turning point in the war.

(2) On Nov. 2, 1642, the Swedish troops of L. Torstensson defeated the imperial troops of Archduke Leopold and O. Piccolomini; the Swedes then occupied Saxony, and the German emperor was forced to start peace negotiations.
