In winter, the coldest point of the Baarhochmulde can reach lowest temperatures similar to those of the Zugspitze (previous record -33.6 ° C).

nature

Next to Bad Dürrheim's spa nursery there is an area of ​​almost eight hectares that was formerly used for agriculture, but fell fallow since the 1960s. A species-poor stand of land reeds developed, plants such as iris and orchid and birds such as the lapwing disappeared. In 2016 there was only one couple left, but then 15 water buffalo were brought here on behalf of the Freiburg Regional Council and a pond was created for the teal . In 2017 there were three kibitz couples, in 2018 six. Other bird species such as the pale rail and water rail , the little grebe and the long-billed snipe have now settled.

history

Brine drilling rigs in Bad Dürrheim from the 19th century

In a document dated from 888 to 890, Dürrheim was first named as "Durroheim". Other versions of the name were "Diureheim" or "Diere" - in dialect it is still called that today. When it was founded, the place was in the Duchy of Swabia . Around 1300 Dürrheim belonged to the commander of the Order of St. John / Maltese in Villingen . The official seat of the Johannitervogte was the Hänslehof, which still exists today . In 1805 Dürrheim came to the Kingdom of Württemberg , in 1806 to the Grand Duchy of Baden through the exchange and epuration treaty .

In 1822, an underground salt store was found during drilling. The brine with a salt content of 27% was extracted from 1823 and boiled in the salt works in large pans to make table salt. The brine has been used for bathing cures since 1883 (therefore Sol bath). From July 1885 to September 1889, the physician Ernst Georg Kurz (1859–1937) worked here and in Bad Rappenau as a saltworks and bathing doctor for the “Ludwigssaline”, which was furnished with classicist buildings by F. Arnold in the Weinbrenner style. In 1921, Dürrheim was given the bathroom rating . The Dürrheim saltworks were merged with the Bad Rappenau saltworks in the 1920s and part of the Südwestdeutsche Salz AG in the 1960s, which merged with the Heilbronner Salzwerk to form the Südwestdeutsche Salzwerke AG in 1971 , and then shut down for economic reasons.

West of Ankenbuck , after the Nazis ' " seizure of power " from 1933 to 1934 as a concentration camp , the Bad Dürrheim transmitter for medium wave was located from 1950 to 1978 .

In the course of the municipal reform in Baden-Württemberg , on September 1, 1971, the previously independent municipalities of Biesingen, Oberbaldingen and Öfingen were incorporated. On January 1, 1972, Hochemmingen and Sunthausen were incorporated. Unterbaldingen was incorporated on April 1, 1972. Bad Dürrheim has been a city since May 28, 1974.
