The Danish Army used a mixture of Minié rifles and stem rifles. Tests conducted by the Danish Army showed, that the Danish stem rifles were more accurate than both Danish and English Minié rifles, but were slower to load. The Austrian Army used Lorenz rifles, while the Prussian Army used Dreyse needle rifles.
All Danish and Austrian rifles were muzzleloading with percussion caps, while the Prussian rifle was breechloading. This gave the Prussians an advantage in a higher rate of fire, as well as being able to operate the rifle from cover, which meant their fighting style placed more emphasis on shooting. The Danes and Austrians fought ind a more old-fashioned way with more focus on melee and bayonet combat. This was both exploited by the Prussians in the Second Schleswig War of 1864 and later in the Austro-Prussian War of 1866.
The Battle of Dybbøl was the decisive battle of the Second Schleswig War, fought by Denmark against Prussia and Austria in 1864. The war was fought over the control of the duchies of Schleswig, Holstein, and Lauenburg.
The duchies Schleswig, Holstein, and Lauenburg were part of the Danish Unity of the Realm (Rigsfællesskabet), but not the Kingdom of Denmark. Schleswig has been Danish territory since the Viking Age, as evidenced by the Dannevirke wall meant to protect Denmark from the south. Both Danish and German nobility have fought over the control of Holstein. Holsteinian nobility settled in Schleswig during the 1300's and spread German as an urban and upper-class language, while Danish remained the predominant rural language. In 1460 the nobility in Schleswig and Holstein agreed to make the Danish king, Christian I, Duke of Schleswig and Holstein, on the terms that Schleswig and Holstein would forever remain unseparated. Following the Reformation, German was chosen by king Christian III as the church language in both Schleswig and Holstein, and German would also later become the school language. Schleswig would remain more Danish, while Holstein became part of the German Holy Roman Empire during 1474-1806, and later the German Confederation during 1815-1866. Lauenburg has had various rulers but was Danish during 1202-1227 and later during 1815-1864, while it was also part of the German Confederation. Another issue arose in regards to succession, since Danish law allowed female heirs in absense of male heirs, while the German law in Holstein did not. There was therefore a risk of dividing the control of the Kingdom of Denmark and the duchies between different rulers. In 1846, the Danish king Christian VIII declared that the Danish rules would also apply to the duchies. Prior to the Second Schleswig War, 1864, the Danish Army suppressed a rebellion in the duchies during the First Schleswig War, 1848-1850.
