The battle of Reichenberg was a battle of the Seven Years' War, fought on April 21, 1757 near the village of Liberec (German Reichenberg) in Bohemia.
Marshall von Bevern had entered
Bohemia with a corps of 16.000 Prussians. At Reichenberg he encountered Königsegg's Austrian corps; the full Austrian corps consisted of 18.000 infantry and 4.900 cavalry, but only about 10.000 of
them had been concentrated at Reichenberg.
The experienced Bevern defeated his opponent. As a result, Bevern captured large quantities of Austrian supplies and could
continue his march on Prague.
