Monument commemorating the Convention of Tauroggen (Tauragė)
Summary
[edit]| Description |
English: Monument erected en 2012 near where the Convention of Tauroggen was signed on 30 December 1812 between the Prussian General Ludwig Yorck (later Yorck von Wartenburg) and the Russian General H.K. von Diebitsch, thus accelerating the downfall of the French dictator Napoleone Buonaparte.
The present granite cube is identical to the one erected in 1912 at the initiative of the great-grandson of General Yorck, but destroyed after WWII. This face reproduces an extract from the letter sent by General Yorck to Friedrich Wilhelm III, King of Prussia, taken to him by Graf Henckel von Donnersmarck who reached the king at the Orangerie of Potsdam on 2 January 1813 mid-afternoon. |
