Frans Hogenberg’s etching “Slag bij Woeringen en het aandeel van de Keulse burgerij in de overwinning, 1288” (1571) depicts the Battle of Woeringen, which was fought in 1288. The etching is divided into two sections: the left depicting a city gate and the right showing the battle itself. The detailed depiction of soldiers fighting and the scene of the city gate serves as a reminder of the historical event and the involvement of the citizens of Cologne in the victory. This etching is an important document of 16th-century history and art.
