The Siege of Lingen of 1605 took place between 10 August and 19 August 1605, at Lingen, District of Emsland, Lower Saxony, between Spain and the United Provinces, during the Eighty Years' War. After nine days of siege, the Spanish army of 16,000–17,000 strong under General Don Ambrosio Spinola, Marquis of the Balbases, took the Dutch-fortress of Lingen, despite of that the Prince Maurice of Nassau, who tried to preserve Lingen at all costs. The Dutch garrison led by Captain Maerten Cobben, hoping to be aided by Maurice's army, finally surrendered to the Spaniards. The rapid activity of the Spanish troops, commanded by Spinola, was crucial. The siege was part of the successful Spinola's campaign of 1605-1606.
