From an administrative point of view, the scattered settlement Kniebis actually consisted of three parts, the Baiersbronn part, the Freudenstadt part which formed the Württemberg Kniebis and the Baden Kniebis belonging to Bad Rippoldsau. It was not until 1975 that the three districts were reclassified to Freudenstadt. The border between the Baden and Württemberg parts can still be seen impressively here.
