Transylvanian Engagements
- When
- 13–18 November 1848
- Where
- Szamos-Ujvár (Gherla) and Klausenburg (Cluj-Napoca)
Karl von Urban defeated Hungarian forces at Szamos-Ujvár (Gherla) on 13 November and captured Klausenburg (Cluj-Napoca) on 18 November 1848.
On 13 November 1848, Urban engaged a 4,000-strong Hungarian Revolutionary Army under Baron Manó Baldacci with his small force of 1,500 at Szamos-Ujvár (Gherla). He captured Klausenburg (Cluj-Napoca) for the first time on 18 November 1848; a legacy record dating this to 17 November is corrected here. His subsequent retreat to Bukovina, with defensive battles from 29 December 1848 into January 1849, lies outside this episode's stated range.
