Napoléon Eugène Louis Jean Joseph Bonaparte.

dit Louis-Napoléon.

clamed Name: Napoléon IV



In 1870 his father Napoleon III declared Prussia and its allies declared war. One of the first fronts was the German-French border near Saarbrücken - Sarreland. Lulu was supposed to earn his first spurs as a soldier here, and so on August 2, 1870, at the tender age of 14, he was "allowed" to go to the front, a baptism of fire in the truest sense of the word. The target of the attack that day was St. Johann train station, which was located in roughly the same place as today's main train station.

The building was attacked from Bellevue with cluster grenades and soon burst into flames. Also thanks to Lulu, who fired one or two shots, for example from the spot where "his" stone stands today.
