a town of Germany, in the imperial province of Alsace-Lorraine, situated under the Vosges Mountains, 6 m.

N. from Zabern by the railway to Rastatt. Pop. (1905) 1906.

It is an interesting medieval town, still surrounded by walls. The Romanesque Evangelical church dates from the 12th century; there are also a Romanesque Roman Catholic church, which was restored in 1852, a synagogue, and an old town-hall. The town has a considerable trade in hops and wine. Above it rise the ruins of the fortress of Herrenstein, and of the castle of Hiineburg.
