Besides the considerable losses of the country is derived as the first consequence of the 6th August l806, on which day the thousand-year-old First German Reich was carried to grave by the renunciation of the intimidated emperor Pranz. The absence of the Prussians in Austerlitz is said to have encouraged Napoleon against the undecided leadership and then led to the peace of Tilsit via Jena and Auerstädt. Finally, the defeat of Austria in the battle of the Three Emperors is primarily linked to the political awakening of the Slavs in Austria.

In 1899 the work began, the memorial was completed in l9l0. The inscription under consideration is an idiosyncratic translation of the original inscription, which is only in Latin on the main entrance of the Memorial Church. It reads: Interfecti mei resurgent. Interfect i mei better translates with "My slain or my slain." . Some minor inscriptions in Czech language are still displayed in non-reliable content.
