Lützow was in the rear, and when all his companions fled, retreating across the bridge, he alone has filled 17 of the 100 pursued them Swedes. And several have already " lost both legs " ... People in doubt ...
the name of a hero named ul Swedish city Halmstadt . Near the bridge, which killed the hero, set a stone with the inscription:
" being wounded, fell fighting Lützow fearless in battle August 17, 1676 "
