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 (cross in the foreground in the left) 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.
