The Prussian forces under General Carl Heinrich…
September 1758 CE
The Swedish forces hold the town of Fehrbellin, with one gun at each of the three gates.
The Prussians arrive first and manage to break through at the western (Mühlenthor) gate, driving the outnumbered Swedes in disarray through the streets.
However, reinforcements arrive, and the Prussians, who had failed to burn the bridge, are forced to retreat.
The Swedes lose twenty-three officers and three hundred and twenty two privates in the battle.
Prussian casualties are significant; the Prussians reportedly take with them fifteen wagons loaded with dead and wounded soldiers when they retreat.
