    The Battle of Herbsthausen took place on 5 May 1645, during the Thirty Years' War. It was a battle between French and Bavarian troops near Bad Mergentheim, more precisely in the present-day district of Herbsthausen. The battle ended with a victory for the Bavarian army under Field Marshal Franz von Mercy over the French troops under the command of Viscount Turenne. The battle is also known as the Battle of Mergentheim and was mentioned by Hans Jakob Christoffel von Grimmelshausen in his work "Der seltzame Springinsfeld". Herbsthausen is now a district of Bad Mergentheim. The Battle of Herbsthausen is notable because the previously victorious French army under Turenne was defeated and gave the Bavarians an important strategic advantage in the war.
