The battle on Nebelberg can be read in text and photos at this refuge. The German War of 1866 was the armed conflict between the German Confederation under the leadership of Austria and the Kingdom of Prussia and its allies. Prussia's victory resulted in the dissolution of the German Confederation. The German Empire, founded in 1871, took its place.
On July 4, 1866, the first major clash between Prussian units and Bavarian troops of the German Confederation took place near Roßdorf. The Nebelberg between Roßdorf and Wiesenthal was particularly hotly contested. 119 Bavarian and 58 Prussian soldiers were killed that day. The dead soldiers were buried in the cemeteries of Dermbach and Roßdorf.translated by•May 18, 2022
