On September 19, 1818 (exactly 206 years ago) Russian Tsar Alexander I - friend, military ally and “son-in-law-by-proxy” (Alexander's younger brother, Nikolai, married Prussian monarch’s daughter) of King Friedrich Wilhelm III - laid a corner stone for the new national memorial celebrating the victory of the coalition against Napoleon in the Napoleonic Wars.
Amazing as always :)
