Wahlstatt, a small village near Legnica in Lower Silesia (Poland). Site of decisive battle between Mongols and a combined Polish-German force led by Duke Henry on April 9, 1241, which marked the westernmost expansion of the Mongols into central Europe. Although the Mongols annihilated their opponents, they turned back to attend to the election of a new Grand Khan.
