About the battle

The Skirmish at Nauen (German: Gefecht bei Nauen or Duell vor Nauen), took place on 17 June [O.S. 27 June] 1675 near the town of Nauen between the vanguard of the Brandenburg-Prussian army and Swedish rearguard units during the Swedish-Brandenburg War.

The engagement ended with the capture of the town of Nauen by Brandenburg-Prussia.

The decisive military victory in favour of Brandenburg, however, took place at the Battle of Fehrbellin on the following day.
