history

Biederbach is first mentioned in a document in 1309. Originally the place belonged - due to its affiliation to the monastery of St. Margarethen in Waldkirch - to the Schwarzenberg lordship and, like many places in Breisgau, came to Front Austria , where it belonged to the Landgraviate of Breisgau . The Habsburgs mortgaged in 1739 the Lords of Wittenbach with the rule rights. Due to the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss and the associated mediation , Biederbach came to the Grand Duchy of Baden in 1805 . There it belonged first to the Oberamt Waldkirch and then to the District Office Elzach. The reorganization in 1819 led to the affiliation to the district of Waldkirch. Between 1847 and 1896, many young farmers emigrated due to the lack of livelihood, preferably to the United States of America .

In 1861 and in the 1920s, the residents of the Oberbiederbacher settlements applied for the separation of the community into Ober- and Unterbiederbach. However, the application failed both times.

When districts were introduced in Baden in 1936, Biederbach was assigned to the district of Emmendingen, to which it still belongs today. Since the formation of Baden-Württemberg in 1952, the place has belonged to the new south-western state.
