The Bühl-Stollhofen Line ((ドイツ語:Bühl-Stollhofener Linie)) was a line of defensive earthworks built for the Reichsarmee in the War of the Spanish Succession. It was constructed by order of Margrave Louis William I of Baden-Baden, also known as "Turkish Louis", from 1701 in order to protect northern Baden from the newly erected French fortress of Fort Louis on the River Rhine. == Location == The roughly 10-kilometre-long and only partly fortified line started in the east near Obertal (today part of Bühlertal), ran westwards over the heights to Bühl and then northwest in the Rhine valley via Vimbuch (today a village in the municipality of Bühl), Leiberstung (today part of Sinzheim) and Stollhofen to the River Rhine. It comprised linear ''schanzen'' in the terrain, as well as individual star ''schanzen'', hornworks, small forts and fortified villages, and used the watercourses on the Rhine Plain in order to flood the fields of fire and approach using weirs. At the same time, by including the villages of Bühl and Stollhofen, it enabled control of the old trade routes from Basle to Frankfurt (today the Bundesstraße B3) at Bühl, and from Strasbourg to Frankfurt (old Roman road, today the B 36). Until 1707, the line bounded the operational area of the French troops and barred the easiest route to Bavaria via Pforzheim.
