This is probably the place,one of my ancestors from the side of my mother would have liked,when he studied in Heidelberg between 1882 and 1886.
Alas,He died,on the 2nd of May 1915,30km away from his home, during one of the biggest battles on the Eastern front of the WW1 (Battle of Gorlice).This was the battle that prevented Russian Army from breaking through Carpathia Mountain passages into the very hearth of the Hungarian part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
Being the hauptmann,honored three times by the "Tapferkeits Medaille" - medal for bravery ,he thouhgt,he could save he's brother,the 20'th years old student of medicine from Vienna and the army's fahnrich,so made him enrolled in the same unit of Landwehr.As the result they both died in the trenches,during russian artillery barrage.I still try to find their graves.There are many beautiful and humble war cemeteries of the time in the region,but I couldn't still identify my relatives.Their death,I can say,is the reason I exist.After their death there was no more heir on our family's land,so my grand,grand parents ask the local bishop to release from vowes the only living brother of the fallen.My grand,grand father Anthony.So here I'm!
