Napoleonic benches were installed along roadsides in Alsace in the 19th century under both empires. Two series of Napoleonic benches can be distinguished by their design and period of construction. First, the King of Rome benches (also called the Marie-Louise benches) were erected between 1811 and 1812 to celebrate the birth and baptism of François, Charles, Joseph Bonaparte (1811-1832), son of Napoleon I and Marie-Louise of Austria, who was titled King of Rome at birth. In January 1812, 125 King of Rome benches were recorded in the Bas-Rhin region.
