The '''Battles of the Schwarzburg Line''' were a series of military engagements along the [[Schwarzburg Line (Pacifica)|Schwarzburg Line]] between the [[Reichswehr (Pacifica)|Reichswehr]] and the [[Army of the Union State (Pacifica)|Army of the Union State]] during the [[War of 1919 (Pacifica)|War of 1919]]. The offensive into the Schwarzburg Line was originally the primary offensive by the AVS, before the frontlines halted and focus eventually moved to the much more mobile fighting in the Lowenian Front. The first two battles were part of the wider 1919 campaign in Luxemburg, which ended with the Union State only being able to push slightly into the defensive line. The third battle saw the AVS pushing past the Schwarzburg Line and into Luxemburg proper before being stopped in the Battle of Rotkirche. The fourth battle was part of the wider Weissersteiner counteroffensive in Luxemburg and Bannarsia known as Operation Stahlschlag and saw the AVS pushed out of Luxemburg, bringing an end to the Luxemburg Campaign.
