In the Lobau, an obelisk-like monument commemorates Napoleon I's headquarters during the 1809 campaign. In the spring and summer of that year, Napoleon used the Lobau as a strategic location to coordinate his troops in the lead-up to the Battle of Aspern, which took place on May 21 and 22, 1809, and became one of Napoleon's rare military defeats. The monument itself bears an inscription plaque highlighting the historical significance of the site and is part of the Napoleon Trail, which leads to several memorial stones and historical sites in the Danube floodplain. Visitors can not only gain insight into Vienna's military history but also experience the natural surroundings of the Lobau with its riparian forests and waterways, which were considered strategically important then as they are now.

Napoleon camped here with approximately 75,000 soldiers before suffering defeat at the Battle of Aspern. Then, as now, there are unfortunately too many rulers interested in war.
