War memorial in memory of the Battle of Wagram

War memorial in memory of the Battle of Wagram, War memorial in Deutsch-Wagram, Austria.

The War memorial in memory of the Battle of Wagram is a stone monument with military sculptures located in Deutsch-Wagram. The structure commemorates a major clash between French and Austrian forces that took place in 1809.

The monument was initiated by postmaster Anton Pfalz, whose committee decided on 17 January 1904 to honour all fallen soldiers regardless of rank or nationality. Sculptor Franz Seifert's second design was chosen unanimously. The foundation stone was laid on 6 July 1908, and the monument was unveiled on 4 July 1909, the centenary year, on the site of the "Sachsenklemme" fighting.

The monument was funded largely by donations and by sales of brochures and writings on the battle published by postmaster Anton Pfalz, whose initiative led the municipal council to approve the project in 1904. Its 1909 unveiling was a military ceremony attended by numerous guests of honour.

The monument stands on Erzherzog Carl-Straße in Deutsch-Wagram, between Franz-Mair-Straße and Rohrergasse, on the spot once called "Sachsenklemme". The site is a stepped granite base with an obelisk; the bronze figures and the eagle sit above eye level, so the inscription plaque on the base is best read up close. The surrounding ground is level and open.

The monument stands on the site of the former Wallnerschwemme, a village and fire-fighting pond filled in for its construction. The spot, known as the Sachsenklemme, marks where Saxon troops under Marshal Bernadotte pushed forward before Austrian battalions Reuß-Plauen and Mittrowski drove them back. The dying infantryman once gripped a sabre, lost before the 1991 restoration.
