The ''Feldhauptmann'' (plural: ''Feldhauptleute'') was a historical military appointment, during the time of the ''Landsknechte'' or mercenaries in European warfare, who commanded a ''Fähnlein'', a unit of roughly battalion-size. A literal translation is "field captain". The commander of a regiment, who initially still commanded his own ''Fähnlein'', was designated as the ''Obristfeldhauptmann'' ("senior field captain"), the most senior of the ''Feldhauptleute'' in the regiment. Orally this was abbreviated to ''Obrist'', the equivalent of "colonel" (likewise the rank of general arose from ''Generalobrist''.) Georg von Frundsberg, but later Tilly and Wallenstein as well, were often referred to by their contemporaries as ''Feldhauptleute''. In Rome in the Middle Ages there were ''Feldhauptleute'', the so-called capitani. See also ''Generalkapitän''. == Sources == German dictionary by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm (General ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Feldhauptmann」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
