Anyone who drives through northern Alsace on historic roads will often pass strange stone structures whose meaning and purpose cannot be recognized at first glance. There are the so-called Napoleon benches, benches for women to rest on the market.
There are several legends about its creation: Napoleon rested here or held an army parade - or: he personally ordered its formation to make the women's work easier. And since the Southern Palatinate belonged to the Lower Rhine department (Bas-Rhin) at the time, the order naturally also applied there.
