As a child we called this hut the “witch house”.
The witch's house must have looked similar to Hansel and Gretel's.
The forest of notebooks is large and you don't see any.
That's a bit scary.

Around 1980 2 foresters lived here in the forest for a few months.
Presumably they were doing a study.

The following can be read about the history of the Heftenwald:

1326:
Offemia von Brauneck (the widow of Andreas von Brauneck) gave the Teutonic Order in Mergentheim the wood for the hilts, the rope, the heaps and all the wood belonging to Lichtel Castle.

1349:
The Teutonic Order hands over the Lichtel Fortress and its accessories to the Bishopric of Würzburg.

1642:
During the 30-year war (1618-1648) Rothenburg was repeatedly occupied by troops.
These had to be supplied by the city and demanded additional tribute.
The city became impoverished and had to sell parts of its property.
This is how the Heftenwald was sold.
The new owner was probably Haltebergstetten.

1802/1810:
Secularization was carried out in Germany under Napoleon Bonaparte.
This means that a large part of the goods of the nobility, the church and the free imperial cities were privatised.
This brought the Heftenwald from Würzburg to Hohenlohe-Jagstberg.

Hohenlohe-Jagstberg belonged to Hohenlohe-Bartenstein.
Hohenlohe-Bartenstein had some villages in Alsace that had to be handed over to France. Among other things, they received the Heftenwald as compensation.

1868:
Hohenlohe-Jagstberg owns 370 acres (approx. 120 hectares) of forest on the Rinderfeld district.

1934:
Hohenlohe-Jagstberg sells the Heftenwald to the state of Württemberg.
Today, the state of Baden-Württemberg is the owner of the Heftenwald.
