Karl Graf von Tattenbach was a captain and company commander of the royal Bavarian 14th Infantry Regiment. It is reported that shortly after the battle he was found leaning upright against a beech tree, saber in hand, and on his outstretched arm. Up until 1914, a 30 cm wide and 25 cm high black sheet metal plaque was attached to a tree, on which was written in bronze letters:
He died under this beech
kgl. bayer. Rifle captain
of the 14th Inf. Regts.
Count Karl von Tattenbach
of heroic death
on July 25, 1866.
