Cycling

A Napoleon bench was set up behind the cemetery. On the occasion of the birth of the long-awaited heir to the throne on March 20, 1811 - the "King of Rome", later Napoleon II - large celebrations were to be held to give the population the opportunity to pay due homage to the emperor.

A Napoleon bench also stands in Freckenfeld. These benches were frequently erected in the Palatinate and nearby Alsace, commemorating the birth of his only son, the long-awaited heir to the throne on March 20, 1811 – the "King of Rome," later Napoleon II. Large celebrations were held everywhere to give the population the opportunity to pay proper homage to the Emperor.
