It is located in the southern part of the Black Forest , in the large Wiesental between Basel and Freiburg and is part of the Lörrach district . The federal highway 317 leads through the place. Atzenbach has a kindergarten and a primary school. At the exit towards Feldberg there is an industrial park on the right. Atzenbach forms the Catholic parish of Atzenbach with the villages of Pfaffenberg , Mambach and Riedichen . The foundation stone of the Catholic parish church was laid in 1928 by Archbishop Karl Fritz , who went to school in Atzenbach .
Geographical location
Atzenbach is located in the east of the Zell urban area and, like the districts of Zell and Mambach, in the valley of the meadow and not in the surrounding mountains. It borders on Zell to the south and west, Riedichen in the southeast, Mambach in the north and Pfaffenberg in the northwest. In the east, the place borders on the municipality of Häg-Ehrsberg , on whose territory the Atzenbach district has a 25 hectare forest exclave near Kupferbühl . Most of Atzenbach lies on the right side of the meadow. Only in the northeast and south are smaller areas of the village on the left side of the meadow.
history
Place name
Probably the origin of the name Atzenbach comes from a single farm. The village was probably later named after this farm. This farm belonged to an owner called "Atzo". So Atzo in or by the stream. The current meadow is meant by Bach .
Local history
In 1113 Walcho von Waldeck gave almost all of his property to the St. Blasien monastery . This also included goods in Atzenbach. This is the first written mention of the village.
Wording of the preserved German copy according to the St. Blasische Urkundenbuch:
“ I also give the gotzhus the good and hope that I have in the villages of Hegniberg, upper Tüllikon and nider Tüllikon, Leidichoffen, Riehen, Wahinhofen, upper Basel, Brombach, Blansingen, Rinwiler, Welmlingen, Efringen, Varnow, Riding Book, Atzenbach , Hebscheringen, Schönow, Ried, Gresskon, Swaigmat, Hugelhaim and Eringen, Tagolfingen, Wilare. "
In the 14th century Atzenbach came to the Säckingen women's monastery through exchange and purchase . Up to 1805 Atzenbach belonged to the Bailiwick of Zell . Thus Atzenbach belonged to Austria for 450 years . Through the Peace of Pressburg in 1805, the village was granted to the Grand Duchy of Baden, which ended in 1918 with the regent's abdication. After the state of Baden merged with Württemberg in the 1950s, Atzenbach belonged to Baden-Württemberg .
Atzenbach was originally a farming village. Typical of Atzenbach were the farmhouses with their deep-drawn hipped roofs that existed throughout the southern Black Forest . Today there are only 2 of these old hip roofs left.
On January 2nd, 1848, the face of the village changed. At that time the first spindles of the Atzenbach spinning mill began to turn. The newly created jobs in the rising industry resulted in a strong influx to Atzenbach. So the face changed from a farming village to a working-class village. The textile industry, which came to an end in the 1970s, brought prosperity and prestige to the village.
On January 1, 1975 Atzenbach became a district of Zell im Wiesental. The district is northeast of Zell. The Todtnauerli , also known as the Obere Wiesentalbahn, was a private narrow-gauge railway that ran from Zell im Wiesental via Atzenbach and Schönau to Todtnau. It opened in 1889 and closed in 1967.
