1813 Crossing of the Rhine River, Kaub – Blücher Memorial

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Statue portraying Generalfeldmarschall Gebhard Leberecht von Blücher (1742-1819).

Sculptor : Fritz Schaper (1841-1919), 1893.

Generalfeldmarschall Blücher crossed the Rhine River at Kaub (spelled Caub at that time). The crossing did not occur at midnight on December 31, 1813, as a vibrant romantic account insists, but rather over several days and at several places spread between Mannheim and Koblenz, for the several Corps of Prussian, Russian, Austrian and Swedish Armies all en route to Paris which they triumphantly entered on March 31, 1814.

Inaugurated on June 18, 1894 at Kaub for the anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo (June 18, 1815).
