Visiting a village in 1813

I always envy you guys in UK and US for your great reenactment events! So I took the opportunity today to visit one right around the corner. In 1813 Napoleon had the charming idea of coming to Saxony to visit Leipzig. Well, I can perfectly understand his sentiments. It's still a wonderful town. As it is common knowledge in 1813 happened some tiny battle of the nations near Leipzig, where our late emperor William II had errected an enormous memorial in 1913. So we are close to the 200, respectively 100 year mark of celebrating first the battle (????) and secondly the memory of it (!!!!!). There is also a historical society here preserving that memory and reenacting battle and daily life etc.
And there we went today: to the village of Liebertwolkwitz near Leipzig. Every year they hold an 1813-event and setting back their village into that year. It was interesting, though I had to smile at some strange costume combinations that were not exactly historical..
