Historical Background – Brief Overview -

"During the Seven Years' War, the Battle of Krefeld was fought on June 23, 1758. The area of today's Forstwald was a staging area and also part of the battlefield. The French had taken up positions behind the Landwehr. The decisive factor was the commander-in-chief of the Allied Army, Duke Ferdinand of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel, with an attack from the south after a bypass via Vorst and Anrath. The battle was decided late in the evening. The French abandoned the battlefield and retreated via Osterath to Neuss.
