Pfaffenhofen

Pfaffenhofen lies on the Ilm in the Bavarian countryside. Its oldest surviving seal dates from 1333, but the town suffered destruction in the War of the Cities in 1388, when its church and castle were also laid waste. Centuries later, during the War of the Austrian Succession, armies met here again. On 15 April 1745 Austrian forces under Karl Josef Batthyány defeated the French under General Ségur, bringing the fighting in Bavaria to an end.
