  from the beginning of the 12th century, and owes its origin to the erection of a hunting
lodge
  by the dukes of Swabia. The emperor Frederick I. surrounded it with walls and gave it town rights in 1154. Oh the site of the hunting
lodge
  he founded an imperial palace, in which were preserved the jewelled imperial crown, sceptre, imperial globe, and sword of Charlemagne. Subsequently it became the seat of the Landvogt
of Hagenau, the imperial advocatus in Lower
Alsace
 . Richard of
Cornwall
 , king of the Romans, made it an imperial city in 1257. In 1648 it came into the possession of France, and in 1673 Louis NIV. caused the fortifications to be razed. In 1675 it was captured by imperial troops, but in 1677 it was retaken by the French and nearly all destroyed by fire. In 1871 it fell, with the rest of Alsace-Lorraine, into the possession of Germany.
