Hohenlinden order of battle

In the Battle of Hohenlinden on 3 December 1800, a French army commanded by Jean Victor Marie Moreau decisively defeated the army of Habsburg monarchy led by Archduke John. The first action of the campaign was the Battle of Ampfing, two days earlier. After Hohenlinden there was a series of rearguard clashes beginning on 9 December at Rosenheim and continuing from the 14th through the 20th at Salzburg, Neumarkt am Wallersee, Frankenmarkt, Schwanenstadt, Vöcklabruck, Lambach, and Kremsmünster. During the retreat, the Habsburg army began a process of disintegration and an armistice was concluded a few days later.^[1]

Notes edit

Footnotes

^ Kollowrat is listed as both column commander and division commander. Since Kollowrat-Krakowsky was appointed FZM on 28 October 1800, he was the highest-ranking column commander. The division commander may be either Johann Kollowrat or Kolowrat-Liebsteinsky, who was known to have served in the May to July 1800 campaign. Neither Arnold nor Smith are clear about the second Kollowrat.
^ The brigadiers to whom the demi-brigades were assigned are not known.
^ Lecourbe's wing was not engaged at Hohenlinden, but participated in the later clashes.
