The fate of this village was always bound to that of the castle of Haut-Koenigsbourg.
Initially ownership of " Hohenstaufen ", then successively of the Dukes of Lorraine, of the Counts of " Werde ", landgraves of lower Alsace.
The castle is enfeoffed to powerful Alsatian families.
In the 15th century Lords - bandits made it their haunt , that led it to be destroyed by a league of cities and Lords.
Being hardly reconstructed in the end of the 15th century, the Swedes brought it to a state of ruins in 1633, during the Thirty Years' War.
The city of Sélestat offered it to the German emperor Friedrich Wilhelm II, who ordered the complete restoration of it. From 1901 till 1908 this was achieved under the lead of architect Ebhard.
