 Battle of Lobositz - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Battle of Lobositz (Lovosice) was the opening battle of the Seven Years' War, fought on 1 October 1756 between a Prussian army of about 29,000 men led by Frederick the Great and an Austrian army of 34,500 men led by Field Marshal von Browne.
Because the Prussians achieved their objective of preventing the Austrian army from substantially relieving the besieged army of its Saxon allies, the battle is considered to be a Prussian victory.
An Austrian army raced to the aid of Saxony, but was intercepted by Frederick's forces near the town of Lobositz (Czech Lovosice), along the Elbe river, in present-day Czech Republic.

 Wikinfo | Battle of Hastenbeck   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
The French hoped to draw the attention of Prussia, which was allied with England and Hanover, away from the Bohemian theatre where Prussia and Austria fought several battles (Battle of Lobositz, Battle of Prague, Battle of Kolin).
The Battle of Hastenbeck is one of the most curious battles in history, since both commander-in-chief thought that they lost the battle and were already starting to withdraw from the battlefield.
This coalition army later met a Prussian army at the Battle of Rossbach on November 5 1757 with disaster.

 August Wilhelm, duke of Brunswick-Bevern - LoveToKnow 1911
He commanded a wing in the battle of Lobositz in 1756, and defeated the Austrians under Marshal Konigsegg in a well-fought battle at Reichenberg on the 21 st of April 1757.
He took part in the battles of Prague and Kolin and the retreat to Gorlitz, and subsequently commanded the Prussians left behind by Frederick in the autumn of 1757 when he marched against the French.
Bevern conducted a defensive campaign against overwhelming numbers with great skill, but he soon lost the valuable assistance of General Winterfeld, who was killed in a skirmish at Moys; and he was eventually brought to battle and suffered a heavy defeat at Breslau on the 22nd of November.

 Ferdinand of Brunswick - LoveToKnow 1911
During the ten years' peace he was in the closest touch with the military work of Frederick the Great, who supervised the instruction of the guard battalion, and sought to make it a model of the whole Prussian army.
In the first campaign of the Seven Years' War Ferdinand com manded one of the Prussian columns which converged upon Dresden, and in the operations which led up to the surrender of the Saxon army at Pirna (1756), and at the battle of Lobositz, he led the right wing of the Prussian infantry.
In 1758 he fought and won the battle of Crefeld, several marches beyond the Rhine, but so advanced a position he could not well maintain, and he fell back to the Lippe.

 Lobositz
Although a small battle by Seven Years War standards, the action at Lobositz was significant for having delayed the Austrian relief effort enough to force the Saxon surrender at Pirna.
Of greater significance, the Prussians learned that their enemy “was no longer the same old Austrians” they had previously faced, and a quick victory could not be expected.
Lobositz would be the first of many battles in a war to last seven bloody years.

Leftward on the Lobosch-Hill side, as we reconnoitre, some Pandours are noticeable, nestled in the vineyards there:--that sunward side of the Lobosch is all vineyards, belonging to the different Lobositzers: scrubby vineyards, all in a brown plucked state at this season.
And the rest of the Battle, or rather the Battle itself,--for all hitherto has been pickeering and groping in the mist,--may be made conceivable in few words.
Browne`s Right Wing, and probably his Army with it, would have gone much to perdition, now that Lobositz was become Prussian,--had not Browne, in the nick of the moment, made a masterly movement: pushed forward his Centre and Left Wing, numerous battalions still fresh, to interpose between the chasing Prussians and those fugitives.
