Sachsenberg Memorial
The Sachsenberg Memorial is located northwest of the Hadersdorf am Kamp train station on a hill at the southern end of the Sachsenberg cellar lane.
history
According to an inscription on one of the buildings, the troops of Duke Charles V of Lorraine united with those of Polish king Jan Sobieski to end the Second Turkish Siege of Vienna . This inscription reads:
- Duke Karl d. V. v. Lorraine gathered its 1,500 soldiers at this point in 1683 and moved with the Polish under Polish king Sobiesky, supported by Bavarian troops, to drive the Turkish invaders off Vienna.
- The Turkish army numbered 23,000 men, with 300 cannons, supported by French artillery and engineer officers.
- The battle took place on September 12, 1683 and ended with the well-known victory over the crescent.
According to other sources, the unification of the relief army in Tulln should have taken place.
The name "Sachsenberg" for the entire ridge is derived from the fact that the Duke of Lorraine's 1500 soldiers were mainly Saxon soldiers. Another reference to the events of the late 17th century is the name "Landsknechtplatz" in Hadersdorf am Kamp, on which the municipal office of Hadersdorf chambers is located.
