Sélestat |
Heinrich Scheuch (21 June 1864, Sélestat – 3 September 1946, Bad Kissingen) was a Prussian lieutenant-general and (from 1918 to 1919) Prussian Minister of War.
He held the same office in Strasbourg 1506-10; in 1516 he is mentioned as preacher in Sélestat; later in Villingen in the Black Forest, and finally in Thann.
The Dukes of Lorraine controlled the transit of salt and wheat towards the mountains, and imposed a 'protection levy' on the 'Saulniers Way', a well frequented trade route across the mountains towards Sélestat and Saales.
