Photographer: Verlag Otto Rauch, Innsbruck
Taken: Circa 1900
Caption: Partie am Goldenen Adler - View from northwest.
Additional Description: The speech on the marker was given after the Tyrolese forces, led by Hofer, defeated the French forces of Marshal Lefebre in the Third Battle of Bergisl (August 13 - 14), thus freeing the Tyrol from French rule. Ultimately the French retook Innsbruck in October, 1809, with Hofer's forces forced to retreat into the surrounding mountains. A price was put on his head; he was betrayed and then captured on January 19, 1810, convicted in Mantua on February 19, and then executed by firing squad the next day.
