A small town in the Prus- sian Province of Saxony. 10 miles southwest of Leipzig, with 3838 inliabitants in 1000. It is famous for two battles fouglit in its vicinity. The first battle of Liitzen was fought in the course of the Thirty Years' War, between Gus- tavus Adolpluis, King of Sweden, and WaHen- stein, eonnuander-in-ehief of the Imperial forces, on November 16 (old style, November G), 1032. At the end of September Gustavus Adolphus had been comiiclled to leave Nuremberg, having been starved out by Wallenstein. The latter marched nortlnvard to force the wavering Elector of Sax- ony, John George, to join the Imperialist cause. Gustavus Adolpluis hurried after him, imited his forces with those of Duke Ijcrnhard of Saxe- Wei- mar, and attacked Wallenstein. The Swedes numbered about 15,000 men; Wallenstein had approximately 25,000. The battle was contested with great stubbornness on both sides. Gustavus Adolphus was killed early in the day. Night finally put an end to the battle, the Swedes re- maining masters of the field. Each side is said to have lost about 10.000 in killed and wounded. Consult: Droysen, "Die Schlacht bei Liitzen," in Forschiiiiiicn :ur deiitscJien Geschichtc (Gottin- gen, 1862) ; Dodge. Giistanifi Adoliihtis (Boston. 1895). (See Gustavus I. Adolphus; Thibty Years' Wah; Walle.xstei.x.) The second battle of Liitzen took place on May 2. 1813. a little to the south of the site of the first battle, between the French under Napoleon and the Russo-Prussian army under General Wittgenstein. Napoleon was victorious, but, as he had no cavalry with which to pursue, his victory brought him little benefit. Each side lost about 20.000 men.
