アルタートハイムのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

The rest area above Altertheim is ideal for a short break with a great view of the surrounding area. Here you can enjoy the peace and quiet and, when the weather is good, look far into the Main valley and over the hilly landscape - a nice stop for hikes or bike tours around Altertheim.

Coming from the southeast, the way to this single grave is signposted and leads as a path (the left of two) about 50 meters from the gravel road to the grave. This is where the shooter rests Michael Steiner Windischbergerdorf b. Cham * 27. X. 1840 † 25. VII. 1866 Kgl. bay. 6th Inf. Reg.

Karl Graf von Tattenbach was a captain and company commander of the royal Bavarian 14th Infantry Regiment. It is reported that shortly after the battle he was found leaning upright against a beech tree, saber in hand, and on his outstretched arm. Up until 1914, a 30 cm wide and 25 cm high black sheet metal plaque was attached to a tree, on which was written in bronze letters: He died under this beech kgl. bayer. Rifle captain of the 14th Inf. Regts. Count Karl von Tattenbach of heroic death on July 25, 1866.

During the "Brotherly War", in a violent hand-to-hand battle between Prussian and Bavarian troops in the Lerchenberg Forest on July 25, 1866, the Bavarians were pushed back towards Waldbrunn. 29 dead people found their final resting place here at an old crossroads in two mass graves separated by a central aisle. The memorial cross was erected in 1867 by the Unteraltertheim youth on the initiative of the local pastor at the time. The inscriptions on the oval panels on the two sides of the cross could no longer be read in 1914. According to the memory of old residents, on one side, which is still thought-provoking today, was the inscription: "Arms now rest among brothers." (Text on the information board)
