The defeated Tsar Alexander I and his army left Central Europe; the war between France and Russia continued until 1807 with the Battle of Friedland and the signing of the Peace of Tilsit. Emperor Francis I of Austria agreed to the terms of the armistice signed on 6 December at the Castle of Austerlitz and later to the hard terms of the peace of Pressburg on 26 December 1805. The harshness of the terms and Napoleon&#8217;s growing influence in Germany led after three years to an escalation of tensions between Austria and France, the War of 1809, which culminated again in South Moravia, near Znojmo. The Napoleonic epic continued with the campaign into Russia, the War of the Sixth Coalition in 1813-1814, culminating in the Battle of Waterloo.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The commemorations are not a celebration of Napoleon or his victories, and certainly not a celebration of the war or the battle. The international political and war events that profoundly affected Europe in their time, and divided it long afterwards, have in hindsight become a means of meeting and a common interest for many people from many countries. The aim of the events is to commemorate and promote knowledge of a common European history.<\/p>\n<p>The event will take place with the support of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jmk.cz\/\">South Moravian Region<\/a>, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.czechtourism.cz\/cs-CZ\">CzechTourism<\/a>\u00a0agency #VisitCzechia, and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.veolia.cz\/cs\">Veolia<\/a> company.<\/p>\n<span class=\"youtube\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/1I5gMpaqpAw\" allowfullscreen=\"\" height=\"480\" width=\"853\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify\">Programme<\/h2>\n<p>Wednesday, 25 November 2026<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>17:00 &#8211; 18:00 Ku\u010derov &#8211; meeting with Napoleonic soldiers, battle on the village square and parade<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Friday, 27 November 2026<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>17:30 Fires on the \u017dur\u00e1\u0148 hill, organised by the municipality of Podol\u00ed<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Saturday, 28 November 2026<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>07:30 \u017dur\u00e1\u0148, Sun of Austerlitz, parade of the French units<\/li>\n<li>09:00 Tvaro\u017en\u00e1, line-up of the coalition army<\/li>\n<li>10:30 &#8211; 12:00 Santon, battlefield &#8211; infantry and cavalry manoeuvres<\/li>\n<li>14:00-15:30 Re-enactment of the Battle of the Three Emperors &#8211; Tvaro\u017en\u00e1<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Sunday, 29 November 2026<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>12:00 Act of piety at the Peace Monument<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><em>Program subject to change.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>Admission to Saturday&#8217;s battle reenactment is free, with the exception of the tribune, which will be available through Ticketsteam.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.austerlitz.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/loga-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2394\" src=\"http:\/\/www.austerlitz.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/loga-1-300x80.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"213\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.austerlitz.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/loga-1-300x80.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.austerlitz.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/loga-1-768x204.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.austerlitz.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/loga-1-1024x272.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.austerlitz.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/loga-1-500x133.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.austerlitz.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/loga-1.jpg 1109w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are preparing for the 221st anniversary of the Battle of Austerlitz (December 2, 1805), the Battle of the Three Emperors \u2013 Austerlitz 2026, which will take place from November 27 to 29.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2409,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[22,7],"tags":[65,24,44],"class_list":["post-2415","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-aktuality","category-anniversaries","tag-austerlitz-2026","tag-napoleon","tag-re-enactment"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.austerlitz.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2415","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.austerlitz.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.austerlitz.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.austerlitz.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.austerlitz.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2415"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.austerlitz.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2415\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2420,"href":"https:\/\/www.austerlitz.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2415\/revisions\/2420"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.austerlitz.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2409"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.austerlitz.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2415"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.austerlitz.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2415"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.austerlitz.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2415"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
