The Prussian force of 4,200 men under Hans Paul Werner were attempting to seize Pasewalk where a Swedish force of 1,700 men under Augustin Ehrensvärd were stationed. After two failed attacks on the town and several skirmishes outside, the Prussian force, after seven hours of fighting, retreated as the night approached.

Casualties on both sides were severe, Sweden had suffered 500 men in losses, a lot of them captured by Prussian troops taking the nearby redoubts. However, the Prussians suffered 300 men, attempting to storm the main Swedish army at Pasewalk.[1][2]
