In this battle, the troops of Friedrich Wilhelm von Bülow and Bogislav Friedrich Emanuel von Tauentzien defeated the French army and the Saxons allied with it under Marshal Michel Ney. This victory prevented Napoleon from advancing on Berlin. The battle resulted in about 10,500 casualties, wounded or prisoners of war on the Prussian side, and 23,000 on the French side.
