A Monument for Theodore Freywald!
Most of you know me because I have been active in the quilting community for more than 30 years. After retiring from teaching in the field my new mission is to write a book about the ancestry of each of my grandparents. I've finished one and started another. In the meantime my husband has become ill, and I'm working on his family history while he can still answer my questions. Most of his family has been here only 3 or 4 generations coming from France, Germany and Poland. I have found some fascinating people in the process.

About the monument: It is described as a shaft on a square base with a cross on the top. A profile of Napoleon is on the front. Enscription "For the Wars of Napoleon." The names of the soldiers are inscribed on it. Do you know where this is located?
Please repost this request to anyone you know that might live in this area of Europe. Thank you so much.

Wonder if WWII were fought in that area and destroyed the monument ?
I don't know if this is really helpful for you but I will try. I did some researches in the internet and found out that there is a monument in Kyllburg in the avenue to the catholic parish church "Sankt Maximin". It's called "Für Napoleons Krieger" and probably errected after 1850. In the German written source I found it is described as a square base with an obelisk on top. The monument is covered with inscriptions. Names, dates of birth and troup units of combatants of the Napolionic campaigns are listed there. Unfortunately I couldn't find a picture but maybe the information will be helpful for you.
I have found that information too, but couldn't find a contact email or something, because I can't read the language. Thank you for trying.Ann
Ann, I found a homepage of the parrish office with their contact dates, email address etc. - do you want me to write them and ask for a picture or would you prefer to do it yourself? I could post a link to your address on your blog.
Since you speak and write German please write them a note to ask. That way they will more likely understand my request. It is for a book that will be going to my family. Also a person that is webmaster for a Napoleon monument website would also like a photo and info. Please give them my email: ann@annfahl.com I would be glad to give them more information if they need it. Thank you so much.
Okay, I will do my very best! :)
Pia has called the mayor's office.
