Bad Wimpfen, Baden-Württemberg, Germany: bas-relief depiction of Johann Tserclaes, Count von Tilly (1559 - 1632), on former Gasthaus zum Rappen in the Marktplatz. It marks Tilly’s stay here in May 1622 on the night before his troops and Spanish-Imperial forces defeated a Protestant army at the Battle of Wimpfen, among the bloodiest engagements of the Thirty Years’ War (1618 - 1648). Count von Tilly was principal commander of the Catholic League in Germany during the Thirty Years’ War. In 1620 he conducted the first campaign of the war and, after a series of successes, marched on Prague to rout the troops fighting for Frederick V of the Upper Palatinate, the “Winter King” of Bohemia, at the Battle of White Mountain in November 1620. Over the next three years Tilly conquered the Upper Palatinate and the Rhenish Palatinate, defeated in battle several other armies raised by Frederick’s supporters, and advanced into northwestern Germany. At the Battle of Wimpfen in 1622, the combined forces of the Catholic League and the Spanish Empire, under Tilly and Gonzalo de Córdoba, respectively, defeated the Protestant forces of Georg Friedrich, Margrave of Baden. Wimpfen was settled by the Celts around 450BC and was the location of a Roman fort in the first century AD. Around 1300 it became a free imperial city but the Thirty Years War accelerated its decline and the former imperial palace and parts of the town were used as quarries for reconstruction. In 1817 the Ludwigshalle salt works were founded, which gradually turned Wimpfen into a popular spa resort. In 1930 the town finally received the title “Bad" (Bath). D0406.A4840
