SK: Viaceré historické pramene uvádzajú, že Napoleon sa
v Bratislave zastavil 31. augusta 1809 na inšpekcnej ceste z
Viedne do Gyoru, ale iba nakrátko. Po porážke rakúskych vojsk
pri Wagrame pripadol totiž vtedajší Prešporok -
Pressburg s okolím do francúzskej záujmovej oblasti. Také boli
podmienky prímeria podpísaného v Znojme. Napoleonova
návšteva prebiehala údajne za prísne utajovaných podmienok,
vedel o nej len velitel tunajšej francúzskej posádky. Dva
týždne predtým oslávili Francúzi v Prešporku
Napoleonove štyridsiatiny. On sám sa však vtedy v
meste neukázal, hoci z Viedne to mal na skok. Kronikár zaznamenal,
že v starej Redute sa na reprezentacnom plese zišlo 15.
augusta 1809 okolo tisíc ludí. Teraz cisár prešiel po
kyvadlovom moste Dunaj a navštívil Bratislavský hrad, ktorý
sa vtedy ešte týcil nad mestom v plnej kráse. Požiar ho
znicil až o dva roky. Potom sa cisár zastavil na
vyvýšenine na úpätí Somárskeho vrchu medzi Hradom a Cerveným
krížom. Prešporcania neskôr nazvali tento vršok
Napoleonkou. Na mieste, z ktorého sa cisár rozhliadal po okolí,
osadili na jeho pocest pamätný kamen s písmenami N. Q. (z
latinského Napoleon queiscebet - Napoleon odpocíval). Zároven tam
zasadili tri duby. Jeden z nich ešte stojí, na jeho záchranu
a záchranu celého Napoleonského vršku sa pred niekolkými
rokmi postavilo Združenie obcanov lokality Fialkové údolie.
"Boli sme úspešní len ciastocne," spomína hovorkyna
združenia Viera Kostelníková. "Vršok postupne odviezli
nákladné tatrovky, vyrástla tam viacúcelová budova, investor sa
však neopovážil odstránit aj starý dub," pokracuje.
Pamätný kamen sa však nepodarilo nájst, hoci pred
polstorocím bol neodmyslitelným znakom Napoleonky. Zdroj:

EN:Historical sources say, that Napoleon Bonaparte visited
Bratislava on the 31.08.1809 during the inspection trip from Vienna
to Gyor, but just for a short time. After the defeat of the
Austrian army in the the Battle of Wagram, Pressburg –
Bratislava and its surroundings devolved to the French Empire. It
was one of the conditions of the truce, signed in Znojmo.
Napoleon’s visit was discreet and incognito. Only the
commander of the french army here knew about the visit. Two weeks
before the visit, French in Pressburg celebrated Napoleon’s
40th birthday. He didn’t show himself there, despite the
distance from Vienna is relatively small. A chronicler recorded,
that in the Old Reduta, on the representation ball on the
15.08.1809, there was approximatelly 1000 people there. In this
case, the emperor went through a trail bridge over Danube, and
visited Bratislava’s Castle, which was still beautiful and
untouched.( After two years, the Castle was destroyed by fire.)
Then Napoleon took rest on a elexation on the foothill of the
Somársky Vrch (Donkey Hill), between the Castle and Red Cross.
Later, the citizens of Pressburg named this hill
„Napoleon’s Hill“ . At the place, where he was
looking around, people elected a memorial stone with letters N.Q.
(lat. Napoleon queiscebet – Napoleon [was] resting [here]).
Also, they planted three oaks. One of them is still there, for his
rescue and rescue of whole Napoleon’s Hill was established
Citizen’s Union Fialkove Údolie (Violet valley). „We
were successful only partially,“ says spokeswoman of the
union. „The hill was carried away on large trucks, and a
multifunctional building was built there. Luckily, the developer
didn’t remove the old oak.“ Sadly, the memorial stone
was never found, however about 50 years ago, the stone was a symbol
of Napoleon’s Hill.
