Heiligenberg

Montgolfier stele in Heiligenberg, incredible story of a course of a party hot air balloon from Paris on October 25, 1870 and his unexpected landing in the municipality of Heiligenberg.
The heroic action of its inhabitants saved the lives of the two soldiers on board the Prussians.
A memorial stele has taken place in the town and a souvenir fresco (photo) painted on one of the walls inside the town hall.
The people of Heiligenberger always commemorate this event.
