Condé's Corps formed down river at Neuburg and Karl Aloys zu Fürstenberg's column formed at Müllheim.
Their role was specific: keep the French left from flanking the main Austrian force.
Yet, despite specific orders to the contrary, the Duke of Enghien, Condé's grandson, led a spirited attack on Steinstadt with the Army of Condé; they took the village with a bayonet charge and remained there under severe artillery and musket fire for the rest of the daylight hours.
Republican fire continued, incessant and terrible.
An officer was killed as he stood between the Royal Highnesses (Condé, his son, and grandson) and the Duke of Berry.
Taking advantage of the royalist acquisition, the second column took the hill opposite Schliengen, which was heavily defended by General of Division Gouvion Saint-Cyr.
Saint-Cyr tried several times to retake the position, but Fürstenberg's column clung to its prize throughout the day, despite a heavy cannonade from the French divisions opposite it.

On the opposite side of the battlefield, Latour's column marched through part of the night to Feldburg, passed through Vögisheim at 47°47′N 7°37′E to Feldberg, after which it separated into two smaller columns.
At 07:00, the right column attacked Ferino's positions in two vineyards which lay approximately 6 miles (10 km) to the northeast at 47°46′0.12″N 7°39′0.00″E. This column forced the French to retire behind Liel at 47°45′N 7°36′E, 0.8 miles (1 km) east of Schliengen.
The left column, meanwhile, had attacked another position by Egennen.
After fierce fighting, Latour's column dislodged the French after obstinate resistance; the second portion of Latour's column approached the hamlet Eckenheim from the reverse angle, and forced a French contingent from the village.
Grueling combat followed as the Austrians made the steep, uphill advance.

The greater part of the battle, yet to come, fell to Nauendorf's column.
His men had marched all of the preceding night; his column moved with the corps of General Latour to Feldburg, but by the castle of Bürgeln 3.9 miles (6 km) to the east at 47°44′0″N 7°49′0″E, it turned to the left (west) to penetrate to the source of the Kandern stream.
Finally, by 14:00, two in the afternoon, Nauendorf's column had slogged through mud and muck and came fully into the action.
Despite determined opposition, his troops ousted the French from Kandern and Sitzenkirch, and all the high ground above the river and Feuerbach.
The fighting there, between Ferino's and Nauendorf's columns, was intense and horrific: Moreau later recounted that Ferino's troops performed "prodigies of valor" from daybreak to nightfall.
When Nauendorf finished pushing the French from Kandern, and two hamlets beside it, and he sent a note with this information to Latour.
As the battle finished, a ferocious storm unleashed hail and wind.
So ended the first day of the battle during which Charles' army had successfully ousted both French flanks from their positions.
Overnight, Charles drew up his plans to attack the French center on the following morning.
It promised to be a long and bloody second day.
