    Everything there breathes history. Battle of retreat of the Prussians in 1806 against Napoleon's troops. Headquarters was down in the castle. One of the last skirmishes took place at the top of the Sperlingsberg.
    The monument was built there around 100 years later.
    Good view. On the small street a bench to rest, an information board and one of the many memorial stones with the respective commander on site.
    Pointed stones: Prussian - Saxon - Thuringian troops
    Rounded stones: French troops
    (The stones are derived from the hat shape of the fighting troops)
