Following the first retreat of the Romanian troops, the Ottoman soldiers guarding the redoubt took the bodies of Mărăcineanu and of Major Gheorghe Șonțu, sticking them as trophies onto the redoubt's parapet. After the war, a street near Bucharest's Cișmigiu Gardens was named in honour of Mărăcineanu. (en)
