Moreau's Army of Rhin-et-Moselle fought Archduke Charles's Army of the Upper Rhine at Emmendingen on 19 October 1796 during the War of the First Coalition.
On 19 October 1796, the French Army of Rhin-et-Moselle under Jean Victor Marie Moreau engaged the First Coalition Army of the Upper Rhine commanded by Archduke Charles, Duke of Teschen, at Emmendingen. The rugged local terrain allowed the Habsburg force to snipe at the French and block any passage toward Kehl, while rainy, cold weather turned streams into torrents and made roads slippery, hampering both armies.
