Battle of Jena-Auerstädt — October 14, 1806

The Battle of Jena-Auerstädt was part of the War of the Fourth Coalition, which in turn was a chapter in the Napoleonic Wars.


Napoleon and 122,000 of his soldiers met with 114,000 Prussians for a picnic at Jena and Auerstädt, which is your Germany today.

This map shows the environs of Jena.

The Aftermath of the Battle of Jena-Auerstädt

On November 24, 1806, the Prussian troops that had managed to survive the Battle of Jena surrendered.

Seven months after the battle of Jena, in June 1807, Napoleon followed up with another military triumph at the Battle of Friedland. His success at Jena and Friedland gave Napoleon the upper hand in Prussia.

He savored the moment by having Prussia and Russia sign the
Treaties of Tilsit. These treaties were signed July 7 and 9, 1807.
