Daun and his army celebrate their victory at Hochkirch, and he will receive a blessed sword and hat from Pope Clement XIII, a reward usually granted for defeating "infidels".

Notification of the battle arrives in Vienna during the celebration of the Empress's name day, to the delight of Maria Theresa and her court, gathered at Schönbrunn Palace; she will eventually create an endowment of two hundred and fifty thousand gulden for Daun and his heirs.

Instead of following Frederick, or cutting off Retzow's division, which had not participated in the battle, Daun had withdrew to the heights and positions he had occupied before the battle, so that his men might have a good rest under blankets after the fatigue of the day.

After staying here for six days, they march out in stealth to take up a new position between Belgern and Jesewitz, while Frederick remains at Doberschütz.

The costly Austrian victory has decided nothing.
