Porscheho smrt, Memorial site near Bedrichov, Czech Republic

The granite obelisk stands on the bank of the Nisa River, marking the location where Wenzel Porsche met his death in 1874.

On June 25, 1874, landowner Wenzel Porsche was murdered during a business trip, leading to a fifteen-year investigation that concluded with Josef Prediger's confession.

Located at an elevation of 790 meters, the monument is accessible via hiking trails from Bedrichov, with coordinates 50.830664, 15.150754.

The memorial was erected by Lorenz Stracke, father-in-law of the deceased, who invested his resources to ensure the tragic event would not be forgotten.
