Philippsburg
Philippsburg () is a town in the district of Karlsruhe, Baden-Württemberg, Germany. History Before 1632, Philippsburg was known as "Udenheim".

It was ruled by France between 1644 and 1676 and again between 1688 and 1697. The city became part of the Grand Duchy of Baden in 1803. Historically, possession of the town was disputed between Germany and France. Formerly, there was a fortress located at the town, whose location was mentioned by Carl von Clausewitz. In Book VI of On War, he suggested that "If a fortress cannot be located directly on a river, it is better not to place it in the immediate vicinity, but some fifty to sixty miles away; otherwise the river will cut through and interfere with its sphere of influence with respect to all the points mentioned above."

Philippsburg Fortress
The siege of Philippsburg was conducted by French forces against troops of the Holy Roman Empire in the fortress of Philippsburg in the Rhine River valley during the War of the Polish Succession. The Duke of Berwick led 100,000 men up the Rhine Valley, of which 60,000 were detached to invest the fortress at Philippsburg, beginning on 26 May 1734. An Imperial relief army of 70,000 under the aging Prince Eugene of Savoy (accompanied by Crown Prince Frederick of Prussia) was unsuccessful in actually relieving the siege. On 12 June Berwick was killed by a cannonball while inspecting the trenches, and command of the besiegers fell to Marshals d'Asfeld and Noailles. The fortress surrendered one month later, and the garrison withdrew to the fortress of Mainz with the honours of war. D'Asfeld was promoted to Marshal of France for his role in the campaign; Wuttgenau was promoted to lieutenant general for his spirited defense of the fortress.

Löwenburg And Philippsburg
On a hill spur above the Eifel village of Monreal, Germany, Monreal in Germany's Elzbach valley, at a height of , stand two neighbouring ruined hill castles: the Löwenburg, also called Monreal Castle (german: Burg Monreal), and the Philippsburg. The latter is also known locally as ''das Rech'' (the Deer). History The spur castle of Löwenburg was first recorded in 1229. Its builder was Count Hermann III of House of Virneburg, Virneburg, who ironically built it on the territory of his brother, Philip, following a partition agreement. The resulting fraternal feud was subsequently settled later, however, in a legal treaty and Philip relinquished his rights over the region to his brother. The Philippsburg was also built in the 13th century. Its small size, in comparison with the ''Löwen'' (lion) gave rise to its local nickname, the ''Rech'' (deer). There are two different theories about its existence: one views the Phillipsburg simply as an advanced work or outwork of the Löwenb ...
