The Turkish stones are located near Hadersdorf-Weidlingau, Vienna 14, approx. 300 m away from Mauerbachstraße, on Stadtwanderweg 8, in the immediate vicinity of the Laudon tomb.

The Turkish stones remind of the struggle with the Turks for Belgrade. After Field Marshal Laudon liberated Vienna from the hands of the Turks in 1769, he had the gravestone of the Turkish commanders set up at the Constantinople Gate at this location as a memorial to victory. The area still belonged to the properties of the nearby Laudon Castle.

One gate plate shows the signature of Sultan Mahmud I, the other announces his fame.

Turkish stone sculptures from Belgrade, the Field Marshal Gideon Ernst von Loudon after the conquest of Belgrade on October 8, 1789 brought to his estate in Hadersdorf and the design of his planned tomb in Hadersdorfer Schlosspark certain.

After his death, on July 14, 1790, his widow Clara, who rejected a grave in the Turkish style, met other orders; the grave monument for the field marshal, created in 1791 by Franz Anton Zauner in Classicist style, was placed over a crypt on the road leading from Hadersdorf to Mauerbach at the foot of the citizen hospital forest, the Turks stones were grouped at some distance in the forest picturesque (Loudongrab).

Nice monument in the middle of the forest. The plates and details are made of marble. More information at: tuerkengedaechtnis.oeaw.ac.at/ort/hadersdorfer-turkensteine
