history

According to Stälin , the Strasbourg bishop Johann von Dirpheim (bishop from 1306 to 1328) had fortifications built on Kniebis . Georg Gadner has drawn a “Württemberg camp Anno 1593” on his “Baiersbronner Forst” map shortly before the Oppenauer Steige, which can only be the facility now known as the Schwedenschanze. In this year 1593 the rule of the reigning Duke Friedrich in Mömpelgard (Montbeliard) began . He stationed soldiers in the redoubt in order to better represent his interests in the Strasbourg chapter dispute .

On the map by Stäbenhaber from 1674 you can see a fortification that was already in ruins. The comment on the map "The 3rd hill at the height above the climb, but mostly in ruins ...". On the right of the map excerpt you can see the 2nd hill, today's Alexanderschanze.
