The Battle of Lützen took place on November 16, 1632, during the Thirty Years' War. It was fought near the town of Lützen in present-day Germany, primarily between the forces of the Swedish king, Gustavus Adolphus, and the Catholic League led by Albrecht von Wallenstein. This battle was significant as it marked a crucial moment in the struggle for control over the Holy Roman Empire.
