After the revolutionary army had occupied the Empire's key of Breisach, the French captured Freiburg in the Summer of 1796. This, however, only after the militia's resistance led by "Mayor and Town Council Ignaz Caluri", when Sumerau's brother-in-law General Max Freiherr von Duminique (1739-1804) put his troops' names on a plaque.
