    There are two French graves near Faßmannsreuth. The "rear French grave" is near the border with the Czech Republic.
    When the Napoleonic army retreated after the Battle of Leipzig, the two unknown French soldiers were buried in the woods around Faßmannsreuth in 1813. The care of the graves over the centuries led to the town twinning between Rehau and Bourgoin-Jallieu.
    In the past, there were simple wooden crosses on both burial mounds. In 1936, the Rehau woodcarver Lorenz Muggenthaler made the wooden crosses, which were then removed in 1987 due to weather conditions and replaced with new ones.

    Very nice facility and a nice, well-kept soldiers' grave. The story of the French soldier's death is explained on the wooden plaque. The two French graves near Rehau are the burial places of escaping or captured French soldiers who found refuge and care in farmhouses after the Battle of Leipzig in 1813, but died as a result of their wounds and were buried in the forest.
