Auerstedt, a village in the former Prussian Provinz Saxony, has given its name to the battle fought there on 14 October 1806 between the French and a Prussian army under Duke Karl von Braunschweig (see Braunschweig). The Duke was mortally wounded and his army totally defeated. This disaster, coinciding with that at Jena on the same day, ended effective Prussian resistance to Napoleon for six years (see Napoleonic Wars).
