The Prussians with the Russian corps led by Sacken were to the east of the Neisse near the village of Eichholz, the central point of the plateau north of Jauer, which was the objective of the French right wing; while Langeron's Russian corps was at Hennersdorf, some three miles away and on the west of that torrent.
Now although a couple of other successes were likewise required, namely, the battle at Katholisch Hennersdorf, in Lusatia, and the battle of Kesseldorf, before this peace took place, still we cannot say that the moral effect of the battle of Soor was nil.
That same night, 12th-13th, while the Bridge was struggling to complete itself, rain now falling, and tempests broken out, the Saxon Army, from Pirna down to Hennersdorf, had lifted itself from its Lines, and got under way towards Thurmsdorf, and the crossing-place. Dark night, plunging rain; all the elements in uproar.
The Prussians take their post at and round Hennersdorf that night; bivouacking, though only in sack trousers, a blanket each man: "We work hard, my men, and suffer all things for a day or two, that it may save much work afterwards," said the King to them; and they cheerfully bivouacked.
He is getting instructed, this young King, as to alliances, grand combinations, French and other. Here, in condensed form, are the essential details of the course it went, in this instance: General Grune, on the road to Berlin, hearing of the rout at Hennersdorf, halted instantly, hastened back to Saxony, to join Rutowski there, and stand on the defensive.
Ziethen sends us word, That he has got into the body of Hennersdorf, "found the Saxon Quartermaster quietly paying his men;" that he, Ziethen, is tolerably master of Hennersdorf, and will amuse the enemy till the other force come up.

As the child grew up in Hennersdorf Castle he saw and heard a good deal of those drawing-room meetings60 which Philip Spener, the Pietist leader, had established in the houses of several noble Lutheran families, and which came in time to be known in Germany as "Churches within the Church."61 He knew that Spener had been his father's friend. He had met the great leader at the Castle.
