2. The Imperial-Royal Austrian Soldiers Memorial along the City Wall
These soldiers fought and died for the Austrian monarchy (which was under the rule of Emperor Francis II at the time), likely in the context of the war against Revolutionary France and Napoleon’s forces. Napoleon’s forces engaged with the retreating Austrian forces near the town of Füssen as part of the broader pursuit of the Austrian army.
The phrase "K-K" stands for "Kaiserlich-Königlich" (Imperial-Royal), a designation used in the Austrian Empire.
