      The Franzosenkopf, also called Kreilberg, is a 481 meter high mountain in the Spessart.

      It is often assumed that the name Franzosenkopf comes from a French gun emplacement on the mountain that the Napoleonic army is said to have used to control the Kinzig valley on their retreat after the Battle of Leipzig and before the Battle of Hanau.

      According to more recent findings, however, the name Franzosenkopf was found on forest plans in the 18th century, even before the Napoleonic Wars.
