Cervantes spoofs these stories in his famous novel. Apparently, there was also a \u201cMurmann\u201d knight, born in 1766. [Now I know why I am such a chivalrous kind of guy:) ] Georg Murmann entered the military in 1783 and spent all his life as a brave soldier, so we are told. For his heroism in many a battle fought first against the Turks and then the French, he was made in 1811 a knight of the Maria Theresia order. He retired from the military July 20,\u00a0 1820. The picture represents his coat of arms that he worked on during his retirement. So did his life make a difference? If you count up the number of streets named after a person to make this judgment, the answer is\u2014a little. One small street bears his name.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.aspern.at\/Chronik\/Geschichte\/wappen2.html\">Details on his life in German<\/a><\/p>\n<p>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"content-image-wrapper\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/peter.murmann.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/wappen_Georg_Murmann.jpg\" class=\"content-image-block\" alt=\"image\" style=\"max-width: 100%; height: auto; display: block; margin: 15px auto;\" srcset=\"https:\/\/peter.murmann.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/wappen_Georg_Murmann.jpg 620w, https:\/\/peter.murmann.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/wappen_Georg_Murmann-258x300.jpg 258w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Reading Don Quixote I learn great deal about the medieval literature about knights.
