Jiřetín pod Jedlovou (Sankt Georgenthal) is a village on the northern side of the Lusatian Mountains, in the Děčín district, in the Ústí Region. Near the village are the ruins of Tolštejn Castle and the third highest peak of the Lusatian Mountains, Jedlová. ​

On March 2, 1908, in honor of the 60th anniversary of Emperor FJI's reign, the "Jubilee Stone" and "Jubilee Fountain" were unveiled in the square near the Church of the Holy Trinity. An "Imperial Oak" was planted near the jubilee stone. The postcard comes from the collection of Mr. Jiří Rosol. I thank him for agreeing to use this unique item. ​

Here, too, the commemorative plaque was removed in 1923. However, the stone plinth with the frame has remained in place to this day. This was noticed by the members of the Union of Military Veterans of the Czech Crown Countries and in cooperation with the management of the Jiřetín pod Jedlovú municipality, with the contribution of EU subsidies, on August 15, 2015, they ceremoniously unveiled the renewed commemorative plaque of the emperor. The mighty hundred-year-old oak has overcome human hatred and malice, and after the re-installation of the commemorative plaque, it can once again commemorate the important jubilee of our ruler.

Not so restored plaque. Someone damaged it in an attempt to steal it, so it had to be replaced with an engraved plastic replacement.

The jubilee fountain is still in the reservoir under the church. As it is written on the website www.vysloživci.cz, special thanks for the dedicated work on the implementation of the event are due to Mr. Jiří Suchard and the mayor of Jiřetín pod Jedlová, Mr. Josef Zoser, who, despite many difficulties, brought the project to a successful end. ​

For the sake of completeness, I must write that on the same day, the "Veterans" also unveiled a memorial plaque to fallen soldiers in the First World War at the local cemetery according to their own project.
