No biography is available for this general.
Born a Saxon; he served in the Saxon army until 1813 (among other accomplishments in the Saxon service, he led the famous charge of the Saxon Cuirassiers into the Great Redoubt at the Battle of Borodino) and commanded Saxon, Austrian and Russian troops, often in mixed corps, all at once, in 1813 and 1814. He is, however, best remembered as a Prussian corps commander for his defense of Wavre, which kept Grouchy's wing from the Waterloo battlefield in 1815.
