French Republican forces fought Prussian and Habsburg Austrian armies over several days in the Palatinate Forest, attacking along a wide front.
The clash between the French Republican forces and the armies of Prussia and Habsburg Austria was fought from 13 to 17 July 1794 in the Palatinate Forest west of the Rhine. Fighting occurred across a wide front, including action at Kaiserslautern, Trippstadt, Schänzel and Neustadt and along the Speyerbach River. In the center, General Taponier's division attacked the Prussian camp at Trippstadt; on the left the French advance divided the coalition lines, preventing the Austrians from supporting the Prussians; and on the right the Prussians held Schänzel against attack from the west but retreated to Neustadt when the French attacked from the south via Albersweiler and Ramberg.
