Battle of Jipsinghuizen


In 1665, Christoph Bernhard von Galen, the bishop of Münster, secretly constructed a road from Walchum, Lower Saxony to Sellingen, Groningen through the moor as part of a planned invasion of Groningen.[3] The population panicked and fled, and von Galen took Sellingen on 20 September. 1,800 men were stationed at Jipsinghuizen, to await the arrival of the remainder of the army.[4] The city of Groningen was alarmed and an army of 500 to 600 soldiers was dispatched to the region.[5]

In the early morning of 26 September, the troops led by Willem Nierop attacked. About 300 soldiers of Münster were killed, and the remainder fled back to Walchum.[5] Later, Münster managed to take Westerwolde via Drenthe and Oldambt, but was attacked by the Dutch States Army under command of John Maurice of Nassau-Siegen.[4]

On 18 April 1666, von Galen was forced to accept the Peace of Kleve [nl], a humiliating peace treaty drawn up by Frederick William of Brandenburg.[4][6] Münster promised eternal peace, the return of all conquered territories and in particular Borculo, and a reduction of its army to 3,000 men. The eternal peace did not last, and von Galen returned in 1672.[7]
