There he was z. B. active with regard to the creation of the Arnaud monument and the layout of the path to the Kisslingwald and the castle path. Knöller often wrote articles for the newspaper, published poems and wrote a homeland book with the title Unser Dürrmenz-Mühlacker , which was reprinted decades later. On September 16, 1925 he was granted honorary citizenship in Mühlacker; In the associated minutes of the local council you can read, among other things: "What Studienrat Knöller, as a board member of the Beautification Association, has done in a self-sacrificing manner for the general public and thus for the community."
