During the final campaigns of the Seven Years' War, Prussian forces under Prince Henry of Prussia operated in Saxony against Austrian and Imperial forces. The fighting around Erbisdorf occurred during the struggle for control of Saxony shortly before the conclusion of the war.[1]
Action
On 14–15 October 1762, Prussian forces engaged Austrian and Imperial troops near Erbisdorf. This battle resulted in a temporary setback for Prince Henry's forces before the later Prussian victory at Freiberg.[1]
