Location of the municipality of Dogern in the district of Waldshut

Dogern is a municipality in the Waldshut district in Baden-Württemberg .

geography

location

Dogern is one of the few settlements on the Upper Rhine that is not directly on the river on the border with Switzerland . As a result of a flood in the middle of the 18th century, the former fishing village was moved northwards from the Rhine to its current position.

In Dogern, the canal for the Albbruck-Dogern run-of-river power station branches off on its own right bank . The resulting storage space ( Aubecken ) is used by the Schluchseewerk as a compensation pond for the Albbruck-Dogern pumped storage power plant.

This sold its rights in 1335 to the monastery Königsfelden founded in 1309 . When the Königsfelden monastery was dissolved in the course of the Reformation in the city ​​and republic of Bern in 1528, Bern took over the rights and possessions in Dogern, which it sold to the St. Blasien monastery in 1684 .
