On 9.7.1945, the 4th Company of the 27th Infantry Regiment relieved the US-American occupation in Kössen. Before the Gasthof Zur Post, the French local command had their parade ground and a large stage, where dances often took place. In September, the French soldiers left Kössen. As there is no council resolution, it is likely that the French local command had the marble plaque installed with the approval of the military government in Innsbruck.
