Graves of Baron Georges-Charles de Heeckeren d'Anthes (first row in the middle) and his wife Baroness Catherine de Heeckeren d'Anthes, nee Gontcharoff (second row in the right) at the cemetery in Soultz-Haut-Rhin, Alsace, France. Despite his later career Baron d'Anthes (1812–1895) is most famous because he killed Russian poet Alexander Pushkin in a duel in 1837. Baroness Catherine d'Anthes (1809–1843) was a sister of Pushkin's wife Natalia Nikolayevna Pushkina-Lanskaya, nee Goncharova.
