In mid-August, 1914, the Russian army began to execute an invasion of East Prussia at the outbreak of hostilities.

 Battle of Tannenberg (1914) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
While replacements taken from the western front were in transit, the 8th Army's Chief of Operations, Max Hoffmann, redeployed the German forces.
Hoffmann's plan left a screening force to delay the Russian 1st Army (under General Paul von Rennenkampf) which was approaching from the east, and set a trap for the Russian 2nd Army (under General Alexander Samsonov) which was moving up from the south.
The German victory compelled Rennenkampf to withdraw his army from East Prussia, and thus cleared German territory of invaders.
