In 1808, during the French occupation, Carl Hornig of Mannheim acquired the fortress from the French authorities and converted it into a way station for passing river traffic. Later, the Rheinschanze with its winter proof harbor basin was utilized as a trading post. Hornig died in 1819, but Johann Heinrich Scharpff, a businessman from Speyer, continued Hornig’s plans, which were then handed over to his son-in-law, Philipp Markus Lichtenberger, in 1830. Their deeds marked the commencement of the civilian use of the Rheinschanze.

During the failed German revolution of 1848 rebels captured Ludwigshafen, but they were bombarded from Mannheim and Prussian troops quickly expelled the revolutionaries.
