Olaf Cunitz, head of the city planning project, said the battles near Frankfurt in 1813 killed 15,000 people. Moreover, the skeletons were discovered in a mass grave, Andrea Hampel, managing the historic monuments and heritage in Frankfurt.

Soldiers are buried in casket placed in the north-south direction, not the traditional East-West direction. This shows that they were buried in a hurry. To date, more than 30 bones have been excavated and it is expected to take 4 to 6 weeks to excavate the remaining remains.
