During Easter Week, on Tuesday 11 April 1525, Farmer George (Bauernjörg) and his army were still deployed on a line from Ulm to Leipheim.

Three days later, the mercenaries (Landsknechte), armoured cavalry (Panzerreiter), and camp followers (Tross) of the Swabian League, financially supported by Jacob Fugger, encamped in the rather flat terrain west of the town towards Bad Waldsee, near the Leprosenberg ("Leper's Hill").

The peasants under their leader Pfaff-Florian of Aichstetten had oriented their positions south of the town on the hilly terrain of Auf der Bleiche below the Ziegelberg hill.

By September 1525, all fighting and punitive action was over and Emperor Charles V and Pope Clement VII thanked the Swabian League for their intervention.

George and his cousin, William, were each appointed by Emperor Charles V on 27 July 1526 in Toledo as a Hereditary Imperial Steward (Reichserbtruchsess).
