Aftermath Prince Louis' force had been completely dispersed as a fighting force. Only Pelet's detachment was intact, and they were forced to take a long route to rejoin Hohenlohe. Despite this battle and the battle of Schliez, Napoleon was still not fully aware of location of the Prussian army. After four days of further marches, the French engaged the Prussians and Saxons at the twin battles of Jena and Auerstedt on the plateau west of the river Saale. A memorial stone commemorates the site of the battle and Prince Louis Ferdinand's death. The plaque reads "Here Prince Louis Ferdinand of Prussia fell fighting for his grateful Fatherland on 10 October 1806". See also Colours of "Müffling", "Kurfürst", and "Prince Clemens" regiments.
