The charcoal burners were probably once active at this place - in addition, a rearguard action took place here in the late 18th century. Several paths cross here today.

At the crossroads at Kohlplatz you will find, among others. a seating group made of wood and the knight's stone with the number 69, a historical monument that refers to the retreat of the battalion of Schladen after the battles for the Schänzel.

If you follow the path with the yellow-blue markings, you will come to the Schänzel, where the battles took place back then, and other knight stones with historical significance.

Here stands one of the more than 300 knight stones of the Palatinate Forest Association (PWV). Its full inscription reads: "Kohlplatz - retreat battle of the Battalion von Schladen under Major von Borck on July 13, 1794." It indicates the following:

"In the First Coalition War, there were repeated battles at Steigerkopf in 1794 and 1795. [...] After the death of the Prussian General von Pfau on July 13, 1794, there were retreat battles by the Prussian troops. The retreat of the Battalion von Schladen under Major von Borck led from Schänzel via Benderplatz and Kohlplatz to the Rhine plain. The defeat of the coalition troops at Schänzel resulted in a retreat to and across the Rhine. As a result, Prussia withdrew from the war after an armistice with France."
