Elchingen

Few communities in Bavaria have a history as closely tied to the Napoleonic Wars as Elchingen. On 14 October 1805, Marshal Michel Ney’s French forces defeated Austrian troops here in the Battle of Elchingen, an important action in the Ulm campaign. The municipality lies on the northern side of the Danube valley, close to the Bavarian border with Baden-Württemberg, where the broad river corridor meets the rolling country of Swabia. Oberelchingen is marked by the former Benedictine abbey and its Baroque church of St Peter and Paul, a prominent local landmark.
