Tips

Andrea und Huskys 🐺

July 14, 2023

Paulusbrunn went under as a result of the resettlement of the Germans after 1945 and the establishment of the restricted area on the border. The only thing that has survived after the disappeared place is the cemetery and the renewed Böttger column. This commemorates the former district chairman, lawyer and patron Josef Böttger, who helped the people. The people therefore erected this pillar out of gratitude.

Pillar in honor of Dr. Josef Carl Böttger for his life's work. For his efforts in the Tachov region for the expansion of the road network, trams and the construction of hospitals and schools.
The column is located near the restored Paulusbrunn cemetery.
