The Battle of Landesschut or Battle of Landshut was an engagement fought on June 23, 1760 during the Seven Years' War. A Prussian army of 12,000 men fought an Austrian army of 30,000 men.
On the 16th the weather improved and the two armies clashed at the battle of Landshut where Bavarian forces were defending the river crossing against the Austrians.
This led to the battle of Teugn-Hausen (known by the French as the battle of Thann) on 19th April 1809.
Forced back to Landshut the Austrians were forced onto the defensive as their had not been time to destroy the bridge over the Isar and the 21st April saw the second battle of Landshut.
In the west, the French were beaten in the Battle of Rheinberg and the Battle of Krefeld (Prince Ferdinand of Brunswick).
In the east, at the Battle of Zorndorf in Prussia, a Prussian army of 35,000 men under Frederick fought to a standstill with a Russian army of 43,000 commanded by Count Fermor.
The final major battle between Prussia and Austria was the Battle of Freiberg, fought on 29 October 1762.
