To secure them stored in the period from 22 September to 18 October 1790 west of the Berger waiting a 6,000 -strong army of Landgrave William IX. from Hesse.

      The Habsburg Leopold, whose coronation in honor of the penultimate emperor of the Holy Roman Empire commemorates the column of honor on the Lohrberg, was an enlightener and, in his time as the Grand Duke of Tuscany and under the impression of the French Revolution of 1789, was opposed to the idea of a constitutional monarchy open minded. His reign lasted only two years. His son Franz II became Leopold's successor and (last) emperor of the Holy Roman Empire. The end of the Ancien regime in Central Europe had initiated the French Revolution and the Revolutionary Wars sealed it.

        Honor column on the occasion of the visit of Emperor Leopold II in the year 1790. Nice story anecdote on which I would certainly never have passed without Komoot.
