The siege of Nuremberg was a campaign that took place in 1632 about the Imperial City of Nuremberg during the Thirty Years' War. In July 1632, rather than face the numerically superior combined Imperial and Catholic League army under the command of Albrecht von Wallenstein and Bavarian Elector Maximilian I, Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden ordered a tactical retreat into the city of Nuremberg. Wallenstein's army immediately started to invest Nuremberg and laid siege to the city, waiting for hunger and epidemics to cripple the Swedish force.

  • The siege of Nuremberg was a campaign that took place in 1632 about the Imperial City of Nuremberg during the Thirty Years' War. In July 1632, rather than face the numerically superior combined Imperial and Catholic League army under the command of Albrecht von Wallenstein and Bavarian Elector Maximilian I, Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden ordered a tactical retreat into the city of Nuremberg. Wallenstein's army immediately started to invest Nuremberg and laid siege to the city, waiting for hunger and epidemics to cripple the Swedish force. It proved difficult for the besiegers to maintain the siege because the city was large and needed a large force to man the circumvallation. In Wallenstein's camp, there were 50,000 soldiers, 15,000 horses and 25,000 camp followers. Foraging to supply such a large static besieging force proved to be extremely difficult. Gustavus' army grew through reinforcements from 18,500 to 45,000 men with 175 field guns, the largest army he ever led in person. With poor sanitation and inadequate supplies, both sides suffered from hunger, typhus and scurvy. To try to break the deadlock, 25,000 men under Gustavus attacked the Imperial entrenchments in the Battle of the Alte Veste on 3 September but failed to break through, having lost 2,500 men compared to 900 Imperials. Eventually, the siege ended after eleven weeks when the Swedes and their allies withdrew. Disease killed 10,000 Swedish and allied troops, with an additional 11,000 deserters. Gustavus was so weakened by the struggle that he sent peace proposals to Wallenstein, who dismissed them. (en)
  • L’assedio di Norimberga, fu una battaglia che ebbe luogo nel 1632 presso la città imperiale di Norimberga nel corso della guerra dei trent'anni. Nel 1632, piuttosto che fronteggiare l'esercito imperiale guidato da Albrecht von Wallenstein, numericamente superiore, re Gustavo Adolfo di Svezia ordinò una ritirata tattica verso la città imperiale di Norimberga. L'esercito di Wallenstein immediatamente iniziò a porre assedio alla città, affamando le truppe svedesi. Per gli imperiali fu complesso mantenere l'assedio per la grandezza la città che rendeva complesso controllare completamente tutti i tratti di mura cittadini. Nell'accampamento di Wallenstein erano presenti 120.000 soldati, 50.000 cavalli, 15.000 donne e 15.000 servitori. Anche i rifornimenti giungevano con difficoltà. Gustavo Adolfo era in attesa di quattro reggimenti sassoni e truppe dal Reno pari a 50.000 uomini e 6000 cannoni a rafforzare le sue truppe. A causa delle cattive condizioni igieniche e dalle prime avvisaglie di pestilenze (tifo esantematico e scorbuto) oltre alla mancanza di rifornimenti di cibo adeguati, entrambe le parti soffrirono pesantemente di questo scontro. Per provare a spezzare il fronte, le truppe al comando di Gustavo Adolfo attaccarono le trincee degli imperiali in quella che fu la Battaglia dell'Alte Veste ma non riuscirono a far breccia. L'assedio si concluse infine dopo undici mesi quando gli svedesi decisero di ritirarsi. I morti, di fame, malattia e per le ferite di guerra, furono circa 10.000 tra gli abitanti della città di Norimberga, 20.000 tra gli svedesi e 20.000 tra gli imperiali. (it)
