There were two battles of Lutterberg:

The First Battle of Lutterberg (Lutternburg, or Lauterbach) was on 10 October 1758, and resulted in the French general, the Prince de Soubise, with a force of 42,000 French and Saxons defeating an Allied force of 14,000 men under General Oberg. Soubise earned a Marshall’s baton for this victory.

In the Second Battle of Lutterberg (1762-07-23), the French Saxon contingent under General the Comte de Lusace were defeated by Prince Ferdinand.
