town of Germany, and capital of a bailiwick of the same name, which was formerly imperial, but now belongs to the French. It was taken by them in 1673; the Imperialists retook it in 1702; after which it was several times taken and retaken by both parties; but at last the French got possession of it in 1706. It is divided by the river Motter into two parts; and is seated near a forest of its own name, in E. Long. 7. 53. N. Lat. 48. 49.
