history
_jm52900.jpg)
Until the 19th century
The earliest archaeological finds in the district of Hüfingen date from the Bronze Age . It is assumed that there was an early Celtic settlement that was taken over by the Romans. This built in the early 1st century. Chr. In Won Höhlenstein the fort Brigobannis , which also includes a bath complex belonged, which can still be seen today as "Römerbadmuseum". After the withdrawal of the Roman legions , the Alemanni settled in what is now Hüfingen. Several large burial grounds were discovered from this time.
The name Hüfingen was first mentioned in a document in 1083. The settlement started from a castle, around which a small castle town was formed. The village of Hüfingen, which consisted of individual farmsteads, arose outside the castle wall. In 1274 the noble family of the Lords of Blumberg appeared as owners of Hüfingen. In 1382 or 1383 ownership passed to the Lords of Schellenberg . Castle, town and village were combined to form an urban unit, which still forms the structure of the old town today. In later documents, however, the "two cities of Hüfingen" are mentioned again and again: the actual castle town (today called Hinterstadt ) and the village settlement integrated into the fortified city complex (today's Vorderstadt with the main street as the center). At that time, each district had its own castle. The front castle was demolished and rebuilt in 1712. The Fürstenberg nursing home for the elderly is located in it today .
In 1480 knight Konrad III donated. von Schellenberg and his brother Burkhard III. von Schellenberg, together with the mayor, the city council and the Hüfingen craftsmen, founded the Brotherhood of Our Lady and the Great Season , which played a major role in both the church and communal life of Hüfingen until the 18th century.
In 1620, Hüfingen passed to the Counts of Fürstenberg , who expanded Hüfingen into an administrative center and thus an important administrative center of their territory.
Hüfingen was persecuted by witches in 1631/32 . Eight women and one man got into a witch trial . At least eight people were executed. The most famous victim was the Hüfinger notary and judge Mathias Tinctorius .
In the coalition wars under Napoleon (1792-1815) Hüfingen also suffered from the acts of war. In the first coalition war , French troops were billeted under General Tharreau in the summer of 1796 . On July 31, 1796, the city narrowly escaped arson. The French demanded 200 Louidor from the citizens of the city (corresponding to approx. 66,000 to 88,000 euros), which, however, could not be fully raised in the short time available. Only the short-term order to march on by the French warfare prevented the threatened pillage.
After the Fürstenbergers lost their state independence in 1806, Hüfingen became the seat of a Grand Ducal Baden district office. The city retained this status until the middle of the 19th century.
20th century
From 1935 the Reich Labor Service Camp of Department 2/263 Heinrich von Fürstenberg was located in Hüfingen , which had previously been in Pfohren and Donaueschingen.
At the end of the Second World War , Hüfingen was bombed several times. In February and March 1945 there were a total of five air raids with 98 high-explosive bombs and over 200 incendiary bombs. 25 people lost their lives. 263 buildings were damaged or destroyed. The total damage later quantified was given as over 1.2 million Reichsmarks. The most famous eyewitness to the bombing raids was the philosopher Martin Heidegger . Heidegger's sister Marie was married to the district chimney sweep master Rudolf Oschwald in Hüfingen, so that Martin Heidegger often visited Hüfingen. So also in February 1945. In a letter to his wife Elfriede he wrote from Hüfingen, three weeks before the city was hit by the first bombs:
"The low-flying planes are here in the mornings and afternoons and throw their bombs; you don't care too much about it ... Such a life here is not very strenuous and can almost be called sedate." (February 2, 1945)

regional customs
Hüfingen is known for its flower carpets on Corpus Christi day . This tradition has existed since 1842, after the Hüfingen sculptor Franz Xaver Reich (1815–1881) brought the custom with him from Italy. The carpets are laid by the residents on Corpus Christi day from 4 a.m. and are left there all day to give visitors from outside the city the opportunity to look at these special carpets. All in all, the tapestries made of flowers with religious motifs cover an area of around 750 square meters. The continuous, almost 500 meters long and 1.80 m wide band of meadow flowers can only be laid in years with favorable vegetation.
Hüfingen is one of the traditional locations of the Swabian-Alemannic Carnival. The fools guild is a founding member of the Association of Swabian-Alemannic fools guilds ; the main character is "Hansel", a white fool with an artistically painted robe ( fool's hat ). The “baptistle”, a single figure with a patchwork robe and a hung window, is considered to be the “arch fool” at the Hüfinger Fasnet.
Economy and Infrastructure
traffic
Hüfingen is located on the Höllentalbahn from Donaueschingen to Freiburg and was until 2019 at this track in support of the two-hour clock trains running regional express trains from Neustadt (Black Forest) on Donaueschingen to Ulm ; Since December 15, 2019, the S-Bahn line from Breisach via Freiburg im Breisgau to Villingen has stopped here every hour. In Hüfingen, the Bregtalbahn from Donaueschingen branches off to Bräunlingen , which used to go as far as Furtwangen . In 2003, this route was reactivated as part of the Ringzug concept. As a result, Hüfingen received a new train stop closer to the town center, where both the trains from Breisach to Villingen and the ring trains stop. Since 2003, the ring train has been connecting Hüfingen every hour on working days with Bräunlingen, Donaueschingen and the Villingen-Schwenningen regional center . With its combination of regional express and ring train, Hüfingen has a good connection to rail traffic. The public transport ensures the transport association Schwarzwald-Baar .
The federal highways 27 ( Blankenburg - Lottstetten ), 31 ( Breisach - Sigmarszell ) and 33 ( Willstätt - Ravensburg ) connect Hüfingen with the national road network.
education
By Lucian Empire School is Huefingen a primary and secondary school with Werkrealschule . From the 2013/2014 school year, the community school was first introduced in the 5th grade . With each subsequent school year, the community school will include a further grade, and the number of grade levels in the Werkrealschule model will be reduced to the same extent. From the 2018/2019 school year, all classes will be run as a community school. There is also another elementary school, the Schellenberg School in the Hausen vor Wald district. There are 2 day-care centers and 4 kindergartens for the youngest residents.
