history

Wooden plaque with an inscription in St. Agathen's Church, around 1720

The first written mention of Fahrnau is often given as the donation from the noble lord Walcho von Waldeck to the St. Blasien monastery in 1113. However, the name appears, together with Raitbach , in a donation dated between 1086 and 1108. It is controversial whether this can be considered a documentary mention.

As early as 1186 a church consecrated to St. Agatha is proven in Fahrnau . The parish Fahrnau was then under the diocese of Constance and also included Raitbach , Kürnberg and Schlechtbach . Shortly before the Reformation , the parish of Fahrnau lost its independence and was added to the parish of Schopfheim. It was not until 1920 that Fahrnau became an independent Protestant parish again.

Although the name suggests it, it is in the 15th / 16th centuries. Built century castle Elmer-Fahrnau (in another case also Elmer Fahrnau ) not Fahrnau, but on the right bank of the river meadow on Schopfheimer district (alemannisch: Ehne - beyond). It was built on behalf of the St. Blasien monastery. Later owners were JB Pauli, the Grether family and the von Roggenbach family .

Until around 1500 the districts of Kürnberg and Raitbach belonged to the municipality of Fahrnau. After that Raitbach became an independent municipality, with Kürnberg as an associated district.

In the 19th century Fahrnau became a workers' village in which workers from Black Forest villages settled who were looking for work in local industry (textiles, Krafft shoe factory). The population increased tenfold from 1813 (approx. 200 inhabitants) to 1910 (approx. 2000 inhabitants).

On October 1, 1934, the district of Kürnberg was re-incorporated into the Fahrnau community.

On July 1, 1971, Fahrnau was (voluntarily) incorporated into the city of Schopfheim.

coat of arms

A red three-mountain in silver, on the middle of which there are four green fronds. The coat of arms, adopted in 1905 and modified in 1956, is a speaking coat of arms, as it refers to the presumed place of origin ("ferns growing in a meadow").
