On October 21, 1813, the Berlinische Nachrichten von Staats- und gelehrten Sachen (Berlin's News of Politics and Education) reported:
This morning at 9 am, Eleonore Prochaska, who was wounded in the Battle of the Göhrde, was buried with military honors. Driven by patriotism, disguised and undiscovered, she fought with Lützow's Free Corps for the holy homeland. Like once Joan of Arc, she bravely joined the battle for king and fatherland.
In mourning, the rangers of the Hannover Corps and of the Russian-German Corps followed her coffin. They were joined by his excellency, royal emissary Duke of Grothe, and by her commander, Colonel Duke of Kielmannsegg. Together with all officers of the Free Corps, they paid their last respects to a woman who had displayed exceptional courage and heroism.
