The Village of Schestedt, on the Road from Schleswig to Osterade, 1850. Creator: Unknown

The Village of Schestedt, on the Road from Schleswig to Osterade, 1850. Scene from the First Schleswig War, in what is now Schleswig-Holstein, Germany:..German troops on their retreat from the battle of Idstadt, entering Schestedt...a large village, beautifully situated on the road from Schleswig to Osterade, where a bridge and sluice over the Eyder Canal leads into Holstein. The country here is hilly, and intercepted with fine beech woods...well adapted for a military stronghold: the Eyder, to the south; Wittennsee (a large lake), to the north; and the fortress of Rendsburg, to tho west, allows great advantages to a skilful general. Schestedt has been from the oldest history a place destined for battles: the last was fought on Dec. 10, 1813, when the Danes, driven back from Holstein, gave battle to the combined forces of the allies under...Wallmoden and Tettenborn'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850
