25 August 1813 – North Germany – End of Hildesheim Campaign



Battles fought during campaign phase

Blucher won four of the six battles fought
Napoleon won the other two, including the final one for Hildesheim
The Prussians retreated but held Harsum, Holle and Seesen all within Hildesheim District.

Both armies had suffered heavy casualties and were unable to continue the campaign
It would take at least a week to resupply, regroup and receive reinforcements
However the Prussians still held Hildesheim, the campaign objective
They therefore won the campaign.

The campaign started in May and ended in July 2025
Battles fought in Brunswick Region

This was the fifth campaign phase to be fought in Brunswick Region during the current campaign. The French won four and the Prussians one.

There were 30 battles fought during those five campaigns, the French won 15 and the Prussians also won 15.
