Pictures of the Market Square in Oberwiesenthal


Here are two fairly modern pictures of the market square in Oberwiesenthal near Crottendorf in Saxony. Our family history says the Tobias Schulz family lived in this small town.


I got these photographs off the Web. I have very few details about what they show. I don't know if the horse-drawn coach signifies a special occasion. The monument appears to be a memorial to veterans who died in battle. (Napoleon's army passed through this area at least once, so who knows which wars this memorial commemorates.) I imagine these photos were taken at some kind of veteran's day ceremony.
