        A special memorial place with a nice place to rest.

        Inscription (not so easy to read) on the plaque on the memorial stone: "After the battles for Kaiserslautern from September 17th to 19th, 1794 between French revolutionary troops and Prussians, the fallen French were buried here."
        Another information board (stele) is part of the “Mysterious Signs of Time” hiking trail and shows a more detailed text.
