| Napoleon won a decisive victory against the Prussians at the Battle of Jena-Auerstedt in 1806. There is a small museum here now. |
 |
| The battle is famous for General Davout defeating the Prussian main body without reinforcement at Auerstedt, while Napoleon and the rest of his forces engaged a slightly smaller Prussian element at Jena. |
