Cycling

The monument is on the Napoleon Cycle Path. It commemorates one of the two battles on October 14, 1806 in the 4th coalition war. In the so-called double battle of Jena and Auerstedt, the French troops under Napoleon beat the Prussian army.
The Napoleon cycle path therefore also leads from Jena to Auerstedt.

Fusiliers fought as a kind of sniper and a large part of this force mentioned here in the memorial was routed and were killed or wounded.

On October 14, 1806, Napoleon Bonaparte defeated a Prussian-Saxon corps near Jena with his numerically superior main army, while at the same time about 25 kilometers away the French Marshal Davout and his corps defeated the numerically superior Prussian main army under the Duke of Brunswick near Auerstedt could.
