The 1796-1797 Siege of Kehl lasted from October 1796 to 9 January 1797, during the War of the First Coalition (part of the French Revolutionary Wars). Forces numbering 40,000 of the Holy Roman Empire under the command of Karl Aloys zu Fürstenberg besieged and captured the French-controlled fortress of Kehl, across the Rhine River from Strasbourg.The French defense under Louis Desaix and Jean Victor Marie Moreau almost upset the siege when they executed a sortie that nearly succeeded in capturing the Austrian artillery park. After the defenses were thoroughly riddled by heavy bombardment from the besiegers, the French defenders capitulated and withdrew in 9 January 1797.
