The French optical telegraph line (semaphore line) from Metz to Mainz was opened on May 29, 1813. It comprised 22 stations over a length of about 225 kilometers (direct line) equipped with signal masts.

In the period from 1797 to 1814, French rule extended to Mainz. In the spring of 1813, the French erected a strange structure between Elsheim, Schwabenheim and Wackernheim. Above the building rose a tall ladder-like structure of wood and iron, with one long and two shorter movable slanting beams at the top. It was a telegraph station.
