The Battle of Ognon was a battle in the Franco-Prussian War,[4] which took place on October 22, 1870, at the Ognon River.[5] In this battle the Prussian XIV Corps under the command of General Karl August von Werder, which also consisted of a division of the Grand Duchy of Baden, attacked elements of the French Army of the Rhine commanded by General Albert Cambriels. The Germans captured a large number of French prisoners. The German victory in the Battle of Ognon decided the fate of the Army of the Rhine, at least within two weeks thereafter.[1][2][3][6]
