Talk:Battle of Stadtlohn

Location of the battle
"Taking position on a hill, ..." well, this nonsense is copied on and on and on ... I've visited the battlefield personally and can assure you that there's absolutely NO HILL (http://pics44.de/img/i/a/8/9nqnp40r.jpg) The terrain is as flat as it could be. The photograph is seen from the position of the Brunswickian lines toward North, the direction from which Tilly's army came. The real battlefield was ca 3 kilometres NE' of Stadtlohn across a dammned road called the Düwing Dyk ("Düwing's Dam"; the road on the photograph) which was the only way for Christian's baggage train across the marshy terrain. Also note that Flieger's battlemap is wrong. -- MfG K. Grünitz — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.33.101.175 (talk) 12:37, 28 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Well, in the Netherlands they did fight seabattles on the haarlemmermeer, there's no sea or lake anymore 400 years later, just flat terrain (http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Haarlemmermeerpolder.jpg) like in Stadtlohn.

Brunswick-Lüneburg
The Duchy of Brunswick-Lüneburg was not involved in this battle. Christian was son and brother of a duke, but not a duke himself. He was bishop of Halberstadt. Weymar Horren (talk) 06:17, 30 July 2013 (UTC)
