geography
Britzingen is located in the Breisgau and Markgräflerland , about 25 kilometers south-southwest of Freiburg . Located in the hilly foothills of the Black Forest , the terrain immediately east of the village of Britzingen rises by 200 meters to the foothills of the Black Forest. The slopes inclined to the west and south are largely covered with grapevines. The area around Britzingen is drained by the Ehebach , which rises in the Black Forest at 600 m above sea level and flows into the Sulzbach via Britzingen, Dattingen and Buggingen in the Rhine plain , which seeps into the Rhine floodplains near Grißheim . The Britzingen district covers about 10 km². Neuenfels Castle , a spur castle ruin, is enthroned at 595.1 meters above sea level in the southeast of the district .
history
Archaeological finds in the win of the Himmelstiege vineyard testify to an early settlement of the area around Britzingen from the Hallstatt period . Excavation finds near the Johanneskirche point to a Celtic village with Roman overbuilding from around 150 AD. In 773 the place name Britzingen first appeared in a document.
The lords of Britzingen in the middle of the 12th century were the Zähringer , later the Freiburg counts , the Johanniter from Heitersheim and the margraves of the house of Hachberg-Sausenberg .
In its history, Britzingen has often been exposed to wars and devastation. After each destruction, the returned residents rebuilt the village.
The hardship in the southern Baden villages at the end of the 19th century led to the establishment of the first farming cooperatives based on the ideal of Friedrich Wilhelm Raiffeisen . After the Second World War, in 1950, the Britzingen wine cooperative was founded on the basis of these ideals.
Britzingen has had the title of state-approved resort since 1981 . In 1988 Britzingen won first place in the state competition Our village should become more beautiful .

The listed Englerhof was built in 1795 as a typical Markgräfler homestead with a courtyard entrance and barn, attached to the residential building that has existed since 1785. After the city of Müllheim acquired the property, it was converted into a village community center with a café and village shop and opened in September 2011.
