Schöllkopf (Freudenstadt)
The Schöllkopf is a mountain near Freudenstadt in the Black Forest. It is 843.2 m above sea level above the village of Lauterbad on the border with the municipality of Loßburg . There has been evidence of copper and silver mining on the Schöllkopf since the early 16th century . Mining was particularly intense in the years 1597–1603 under Duke Friedrich I of Württemberg . It is assumed, however, that this type of mining has always been loss-making.
There was also a farm (Schöllkopfhof) on the Schöllkopf, which was destroyed in a French invasion in 1693 and not rebuilt. The so-called grandfather fir belonged to this farm as a solitary tree (willow fir). Today it is 250-300 years old and surrounded by younger forest. It is also known that there was a glassworks on the Schöllkopf in 1448 .
The Lauter, a tributary of the Glatt, rises from several sources on the Schöllkopf . There is also a watershed on the Schöllkopf between the catchment area of the Murg and the Kinzig .
