The Napoleonic public bench, known as the King of Rome, was built in 1811/1812, to commemorate the birth of Aiglon, son of Napoleon I and Marie Louise d'Autrice. These resting benches,

On market or fair days, peasants and especially peasants went to towns or large towns where a market was held. Heavily loaded, they brought the farm products there. The peasant women carried a basket on their head protected by a pad (der Wisch) filled with bran and husks of wheat. The peasants, for their part, carried their products in a basket hung on the back by two leather straps. During the stops, the peasant women could place their loads on the lintel and then rest on the bench of the lower slab, generally in the shade of four lime trees. On both sides were erected two terminals which allowed men to place their hoods or even riders to get back in the saddle.
