Description

It was here at Schloss Schönbrunn that Frédéric Staps set out to assassinate Napoleon. Napoleon was here to observe a military parade. One of Napoleon's aides, General Rapp, became suspicious of the young man approaching the emperor despite having previously been refused an audience, and had him arrested. A knife was found and Staps then admitted his plans to kill the emperor. Napoleon asked if Staps would thank him if he was pardoned, to which Staps replied: "I would kill you no less." He was executed by firing squad on 17 October 1809. His last words were: “Liberty forever! Germany forever! Death to the tyrant!”
