history

The forests in the near and far surroundings of Bad Reichenhall have been supplying wood since the Middle Ages in order to ensure the immense need for fuel when boiling the brine for the production of salt. In order to be able to transport the wood over the Saalach to Reichenhall, the water was dammed with Klausen so that the wood could be transported from the rich mountain forests into the valley and to the Saalach. In the course of the renovation of the Bavarian saltworks by Johann Sebastian von Clais towards the end of the 18th century, the Bäckinger Klause was probably also rebuilt to replace the outdated predecessor buildings.

In the years 1811/12 the Bäckinger Klause delivered 250 fathoms of wood to the saltworks in Reichenhall.

The southern part of the defensive wall was blown up between 1927 and 1930.
