history

The first documentary mention of the place as Binuzhaine comes from the year 767 . It is mentioned again in 807 as Pinuzheim in a document from the St. Gallen monastery . The village was confiscated by the Franks as an Alemannic manor and came into the possession of the Franconian royal monastery of St. Denis about 1200 years ago . Later, various ecclesiastical and secular lordships had rights in Binzen, with the Basel bishop being of particular importance. The seat of power was Binzen Castle . At the beginning of the 16th century, most of Binzen came into the possession of the margraviate of Baden-Durlach , but it took until 1769 for the whole place to become Baden.

Laurentiuskirche Binzen

A " basilica sancti Laurentii " in Binzen was mentioned in a document as early as 807. Although nothing is known of the early construction history of today's Evangelical Church in Binzen , it is assumed that it was a massive, stone-built church.

The church became Protestant after 1556, when Margrave Charles II of Baden-Durlach converted for himself and his subjects after the Peace of Augsburg .

The Laurentiuskirche has been structurally changed several times. The most significant change, which is still visible today, took place between 1822 and 1824, when the old church - with the exception of the tower - was demolished and rebuilt according to plans by the Baden architect Friedrich Weinbrenner .

Further cultural monuments can be found in the list of cultural monuments in Binzen .
