Christopher, there is some excellent literature about Herrenwies and Hundsbach. Maybe this will help you to find out some answers to your questions. ............................... A doctoral dissertation: Title: Die Entstehung und Entwicklung der Holzhauersiedlungen Herrenwies und Hundsbach im nördlichen Schwarzwald / Karl Hasel Verfasser: Author: Hasel, Karl Published: 1942 Pages 118 gez. Bl. Universtiy of Freiburg, Diss., 1942 ........................... I guess a another version of the dissertation is this new print of 1984: Title: Herrenwies und Hundsbach : ein Beitrag zur forstlichen Erschließung des nördlichen Schwarzwalds / Karl Hasel Verfasser: Author: Hasel, Karl Ausgabe: [Nachdr. d. Ausg. Leipzig 1944] Erschienen: Horb a. N. : Geiger, 1984 Umfang: XVI, 144 S. : Ill., Kt. Schriftenreihe: Veröffentlichung des Alemannischen Institutes, Freiburg im Breisgau Anmerkung: Aus: Forschungen zur deutschen Landeskunde ; Bd. 45. - In Fraktur .................................. I think there is a good chance to order this literature alos in USA.
