Hacke Monument with Stone Table
Highlight • Monument
On October 9, 1756, Elector Karl Theodor appointed the Baron as Electorate of the Palatinate's Ambassador and Minister Plenipotentiary in Vienna. At the outbreak of the Seven Years' War in 1756, negotiations for a protection treaty with Austria for the Duchy of Jülich were conducted through him.
Franz Karl Ludwig Wilhelm von Hacke was only able to hold this office for just under a year. On September 4, 1757, around 7 a.m., on his return journey from the Palatinate to Vienna, he was asleep in his carriage on board a ship traveling down the Danube. The ship struck the bridge near Kelheim, and Hacke fell overboard and drowned. Contemporary sources report that some of his luggage was recovered. This suggests that the entire carriage, with the sleeping ambassador, plunged into the river during the accident.
