 By the Battle of Jutland , on 31 May – 1 June 1916 , Frauenlob was assigned to the IV Scouting Group , under the command of Commodore Ludwig von Reuter , which was tasked with screening for the High Seas Fleet . She was not actively engaged in the battle until later on the evening of 31 May ; at around 9 : 15 , the IV Scouting Group encountered the British 3rd Light Cruiser Squadron and briefly engaged them , but due to the poor visibility , only Stettin and München fired for long , and to no effect .
