The East Prussian Corp was a short-lived Army Corps assembled in 1807 during the War of the Fourth Coalition, from the remnants of the main Prussian Army and Garrisoned troops under the command of L'Estocq. Following the Prussian defeats of 1806, L'Estocq's Corp was the only Prussian Field Formation. The Corps participated in several battles, such as the Battle of Pultusk, the Battle of Mohrungen, and the Battle of Czarnowo. They most notably fought in the Battle of Eylau where a detachment of troops under L'Estocq arrived near the end of the battle, halting Davout's III Corps and allowing the Imperial Russian Army to disengage. During the War, most of the troops in this Corps were stationed in Konigsberg while only a small amount was active in the field. It was dissolved after the War and has ceased to exist since.
