The Battle of Frœschwiller-Wœrth, or Battle of Reichshoffen, took place on August 6, 1870 in Alsace, at the start of the Franco-Prussian War of 1870

As a memorial to the many dead, such a "MONUMENT AUX MORTS" (usually called a "Central Memorial" or "War Memorial" in German-speaking countries) is still very important today. "Now, Lord, you let your servant depart in peace, as you have said..." says the so-called "Hymn of Simeon" (Luke's Gospel, Chapter 2, Verse 29). However, the people who are remembered here did not depart in peace, but became victims of war and tyranny. For this reason, the term "Fallen Monument" is now sometimes used instead of the "War Memorial" that was previously common in German. In the French-speaking world, however, this aspect of commemoration of the dead has long been included in the most commonly used term "MONUMENT AUX MORTS".
