The Battle of Reichshoffen (also known as the Battle of Wörth) took place near the village of Wœrth in Alsace, on the Sauer River at the beginning of the Franco-Prussian War. It is referred to as the second battle of Wörth (the first occurred during the French ⛦Revolutionary wars in 1793). In the second battle depicted here, troops from Germany defeated the French, primarily due to a much larger army and superior artillery.
