Historical Overview
The Battle of Lundby took place south of Lundby in northeast Himmerland on 3 July 1864 in the Second Schleswig War. A Danish company of the First Regiment tried a head-on bayonet charge down a long hillside towards a Prussian company, but was stopped 20 meters in front of the earth dike that the Prussians lay in cover behind. It was the last battle of the Second Schleswig War, and resulted in great Danish losses.
