Description
Français : Il s'agit de la dernière charge des cuirassiers des 1er, 2ème, 3ème et 4ème régiments du général de Bonnemains. Elle sera infructueuse comme celle du 9ème régiment à Morsbronn mais leur sacrifice a permis, dit-on, la retraite de l'armée française.

Le musée de la bataille du 6 août 1870 est situé dans l'ancien donjon du château à Woerth en Alsace. Il fait partie des musées du Parc régional des Vosges du nord.

Il est consacré à la bataille du 6 août 1870 entre l'armée française (positionnée à Froeschwiller et commandée par Mac-Mahon) et les armées allemandes coalisées autour de la Prusse (positionnées à Woerth). Le nom de Reichshoffen lui a été historiquement associé alors qu'elle ne s'y est pas déroulée.

Cette bataille, qui a fait 20.000 morts dans les deux camps, marque le début de la guerre franco-allemande de 1870-1871 perdue par la France et qui a abouti à l'annexion par l'Allemagne de l'Alsace et de la Lorraine (région de Metz).

Les répercussions de cet affrontement ont été considérables car les deux grandes guerres, qui se sont produites au XXè siècle, en sont le prolongement.

Le musée de Woerth vient de rouvrir après une période de rénovation. La visite du musée peut être complétée par celle du champ de bataille et des monuments français et surtout allemands qui y ont été érigés.

En effet, cette région a fait l'objet durant l'occupation allemande jusqu'en 1918 d'un tourisme important de la part des allemands venant célébrer le sacrifice de leurs soldats.

Licensing

This is a faithful photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional, public domain work of art. The work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer.


You must also include a United States public domain tag to indicate why this work is in the public domain in the United States. Note that a few countries have copyright terms longer than 70 years: Mexico has 100 years, Jamaica has 95 years, Colombia has 80 years, and Guatemala and Samoa have 75 years. This image may not be in the public domain in these countries, which moreover do not implement the rule of the shorter term. Honduras has a general copyright term of 75 years, but it does implement the rule of the shorter term. Copyright may extend on works created by French who died for France in World War II (more information), Russians who served in the Eastern Front of World War II (known as the Great Patriotic War in Russia) and posthumously rehabilitated victims of Soviet repressions (more information).

The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".
This photographic reproduction is therefore also considered to be in the public domain in the United States. In other jurisdictions, re-use of this content may be restricted; see Reuse of PD-Art photographs for details.
