    Blücher & Napoleon in Bad Düben

    Bad Düben played a key role in the 1813 campaign. Field Marshal Gebhard Leberecht von Blücher, known as "Marschall Vorwärts," stationed his headquarters at Düben Castle from October 6-9, 1813, before retreating to avoid Napoleon’s advancing army. Napoleon himself arrived at the castle on October 10 and stayed until October 14, experiencing what he called some of the dullest days of his campaigns.

    Blücher later moved toward Leipzig, where he played a decisive role in the Battle of Möckern on October 16, 1813. His victory earned him a promotion to General Field Marshal. He continued pursuing the French to Paris, where his troops stormed Montmartre in 1814. He would later return to the battlefield at Waterloo in 1815, helping to end Napoleon’s rule.

    A special exhibition, Blücher & Napoleon, was held in 2013 at Düben Castle, featuring historical texts, artifacts, and paintings related to the 1813 campaign.
