    Historic memorial stone, nestled in a well-kept flower garden. Quiet place with classic park design.
    Showing Translation
    From the then war memorial made of granite blocks with an inscription, the crowning bronze eagle and a coat of arms were removed and melted down over the course of history.

    The inscription is now very difficult to decipher. It is a poem by the Duchess and reads: "The cement that performs the wonderful miracles / That is blood shed together / When the Württembergers in the battlefield / The Pomeranians and Saxons joined / Then the harmony was sealed / The brother tribes together Champigny."
    Translated by
    This memorial stone commemorates an inglorious German past that will hopefully never exist again.

    The memorial stone in Berger Park commemorates the last major battle of the Franco-German War of 1870/1871 and, from today's perspective, should be seen more as a Franco-German memorial than as a mere place of remembrance.

    The Battle of Champigny was the last great and decisive battle of this unfortunate war.
