The twin battles of Jena and Auerstedt were fought on October 14, 1806 on the plateau west of the river Saale, between the forces of Napoleon I of France and King Frederick William III of Prussia. The decisive defeat suffered by the Prussian army resulted in Prussia's elimination from the anti-French coalition.
