Encounter at Wendelshaus ....

At a small hamlet of Wendelshaus near Ziegenfeldt, a Saxe-Jarlsberg dragoon patrol falls back after running into a detachment of Wittenberg jagers ....

The movements:

Wittenberg: General Waldebeck had marched his troops hard, left the main road and moved towards the centre of the Hoflandt aiming for Ziegenfeldt.

Saxe-Jarlsberg: Count Pottsendorf had secured Montberg and ensured supplies were brought up, this caused some delay; not finding the Wittenberg troops on the road to Marienstadt he had swung the army north.
