Battle of Hoyerswerda

The Battle of Hoyerswerda was a minor encounter of September 25, 1759 during the Third Silesian War between Prussian and Austrian forces. Following on from the calamitous Prussian defeat at Kunersdorf in August however, this small victory for Frederick the Great, taken together with the one fashioned at Korbitz four days earlier by Friedrich August von Finck, no doubt proved a timely tonic to his fragile confidence.
