history
Until the 18th century
The settlement of the area began in the 6th century by the Alemanni . Todtnau was first mentioned in a document in 1025 in a document from Emperor Konrad II. Since 1125 the place was under the jurisdiction of the Zähringer , after the family died out in 1218 the right passed to the Staufer . 1288 was the founding year as a parish . Todtnauberg was mentioned as early as 1283, which, like the Aftersteg mentioned in 1352, had emerged as a mining settlement . At that time Todtnau was the center of silver mining in the southern Black Forest and at that time belonged to the monastery of St. Blasien as a bailiwick . While the Aftersteg farming settlement consisted of three houses and barns in 1352, this year there were already ten houses around the church, 23 hermit farms and 23 ore mills in Todtnau . In the 17th century, the heyday of silver mining was already over, and by the Thirty Years War at the latest, the formerly rich miners became impoverished and were forced to make a living in agriculture .
From 1366 to 1805 Todtnau belonged to Upper Austria , after which it became Baden .
19th and 20th centuries
On July 24, 1809, Todtnau was granted city rights .
In 1876 a major fire devastated the town center with the church that was then in the valley and the so-called Oberdorf (Oberstrasse). Today's townscape with the church standing over the valley is a result of the subsequent reconstruction.
Todtnau and the surrounding area are now a popular holiday destination in the southern Black Forest. In addition, until 1967 it was the end point of the " Todtnauerli ", a narrow-gauge railway that began in Zell im Wiesental .

coat of arms
The blazon of the coat of arms reads: “In gold on a green shield base, a miner walking to the left in a silver-adorned costume with a black cap, a shouldered black mallet in his right hand, a black torch with a red flame in his left; on the arms, held by silver straps, on the right a black bag, on the left two black irons. “The miner with a mallet is already depicted on the Todtnau seals between 1341 and 1699. In 1902, the General State Archives in Karlsruhe designed the coat of arms, which was continued with changes in the color and shape of the shield. The coat of arms in its current form was awarded to the city in 1972 by the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of the Interior.
The description of the coat of arms is an indication of the historical importance of silver mining in the area around the city. The coats of arms of incorporated communities also show elements that refer to mining (Aftersteg, Brandenberg, Todtnauberg).
Culture and sights
nature
Between Todtnau and Aftersteg there are the Todtnau waterfalls , in which the Stübenbach falls 97 meters. They can be reached from the parking lots at Todtnauberg and Aftersteg. In the upper valley head of the Wiesental you can find the Fahler waterfalls with a total height of around 40 meters. Large parts of the urban area of Todtnau are occupied by the two largest nature reserves in Baden-Württemberg, the Feldberg nature and landscape reserve and the Präg glacier basin .

Those interested can get to know the village and its past on a total of 21 information boards along the way. The nature of the place and a view over Muggenbrunn are just as much a part of this hike as a visit to the oldest house in the village.
In March 2019, in the Geschwend district, a 5.5-ton boulder almost fell from a height of 800 meters on a house at the foot of the mountain. Seven months later, on October 23, Todtnau's mayor Andreas Wießner had 15 houses evacuated. The St. Wendelin Church is also not allowed to be entered. A few weeks later, six of the houses were allowed to be inhabited again. The slope is now being secured with anchors and steel nets.
