1813 Crossing of the Rhine River, Kaub, Oath of the Boatmen

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Plaque affixed on December 31, 1913 in the Evangelical Church, where the boatmen of Kaub (then spelled Caub) took Oath. The plaque reads :

In der Neujahresnacht // 1813 – 14 // wurden hier // für Feldmarschall von Blücher // und sein Befreiungswerk // die Cauber Schiffer // in Eid und Pflicht genommen.

The boatmen assembled the elements of the pontoon prepared uphill around Weisel in the preceding weeks. Boatmen from downstream Sankt Goarshausen also contributed.

The floating bridge allowed the crossing of the Rhine at Kaub, from January 2 to 5, 1814 – one more major step towards the final collapse of the napoléonic régime.
