Prince Friedrich Josias was the most successful general of the House of Saxe-Coburg. From 1750 onward, he led the Austrian army and later the German Imperial Army in numerous battles. His most significant victory, from Coburg's perspective, came in 1806. In tough negotiations, he saved his hometown from looting and pillaging by Napoleonic troops. This made him unforgettable in the fortress town.
