Palatine uprising

Battle of Kirchheimbolanden on 14 June 1849; with the flag of Mathilde Hitzfeld

The Palatine uprising (German: Pfälzischer Aufstand or Pfälzer Aufstand) was a rebellion that took place in May and June 1849 in the Rhenish Palatinate, which was then an exclave territory of the Kingdom of Bavaria. Related to uprisings across the Rhine in Baden, it was part of the widespread Imperial Constitution Campaign (Reichsverfassungskampagne). Revolutionaries worked to defend the constitution and to secede from the Kingdom of Bavaria.
