Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox military conflict The Battle of Vilshofen was fought on 28 March 1745 between France and Austria. The Austrians won the battle, before plundering Vilshofen.

Before the battle, a sizeable number of Bavarians and Hessians, likely numbering around 4,000–6,000 men, curbed Austrian advances for five days.[1] On 28 March 1745, Austrian general Maximilian Ulysses Browne led troops into Vilshofen.[2] As the mostly Croatian troops entered the city, they began to plunder and loot the city, burning it to the ground.[2] 3,000 of the Hessian defenders were butchered.[2] Browne was wounded by his own men while trying to stop the frenzy.[1][2][3] Following the battle, Browne recovered from his wounds in Passau.[3] Up to 6,000 of the Hessians may have died in the Battle of Vilshofen.[2]
