The battle of Zusmarshausen on May 17, 1648 was the last major field battle of the Thirty Years War (1618–1648) that took place on German soil. The troops of the emperor and the Bavarian elector were defeated by the French and Swedish armies and forced to retreat. As a result, Bavaria was devastated by the Swedes and French.
The news of the signing of the Peace of Westphalia on October 24, 1648 reached both warring parties at the beginning of November, with the result that the fighting ceased.
The fighting is explained on four panels of the former battle site.
