history
Until the 18th century
Gaggenau was first mentioned in a document in 1243. Gaggenau remained a smaller village until the 19th century . It originally belonged to the Ufgau , from the 13th century to the margraviate of Baden and from 1535 to the margraviate of Baden-Baden . The current district of Bad Rotenfels, which was mentioned in an imperial letter of donation back in 1041, is older than the city center.
Until 1689 Gaggenau belonged to the Kuppenheim office and then to the Rastatt office , from which the Rastatt district later emerged. In 1691 the place was almost completely destroyed by the French during the War of the Palatinate Succession .
In 1772, the Rindenschwendersche Glashütte was built below the village and with it several company apartments and workshops.
19th and 20th centuries
The actual industrial boom began in 1873 with the founding of Michael Flürscheim's iron works , which go back to the margravial hammer mill. The 5-hp automobile Orient Express was built here in 1895, and from 1905 they were called Süddeutsche Automobilfabrik GmbH Gaggenau . In 1907 the company Benz & Cie. from Mannheim until the merger to form Daimler-Benz AG in 1926 . As a result, the Gaggenau settlement grew strongly and was elevated to a town on September 15, 1922 due to its economic power.
In September 1944, the Nazi rulers set up the Rotenfels security camp in what is now the Rotenfels district , where around 1,600 men and women who were obliged to perform forced labor in the Daimler-Benz factories and other companies were interned in six barracks . About 500 of them were killed. A memorial plaque in the Bad Rotenfels spa gardens has been commemorating them since 1985 and was inaugurated in the presence of former French prisoners. Another memorial is located in Gewann Erlich near the forest cemetery. The Erlich memorial commemorates 27 murdered prisoners.
In World War II the city was destroyed about 70%. On September 10, 1944, 140 B-17 bombers of the US 8th Air Fleet attacked the local vehicle industry, followed by an attack by 139 B-24s on October 3 . 205 residents died, 111 were injured and 4,500 were left homeless. 696 of the 2185 buildings in Gaggenau were completely destroyed and 1334 damaged. After the war, the city was rebuilt with a regular road network. The reconstruction was completed with the new construction of the town hall (1957-1958). From 1951 to 2002 the Unimog was built at the Gaggenau Daimler plant before production was relocated to Wörth am Rhein in 2002 .
In the early 1970s, six surrounding municipalities were incorporated into Gaggenau as part of the local government reform. As a result, the number of inhabitants doubled and the area of the district quintupled, in particular due to the former community of Rotenfels, which owned a very large area of forest (up to and including amber ). As a result, the minimum number of 20,000 inhabitants for the census to be a major district town was exceeded, which is why the state government of Baden-Württemberg resolved this with effect from January 1, 1971 at the request of the city administration.
Incorporations
The following communities were incorporated into the city of Gaggenau. They all belonged to the office or district of Rastatt:
- April 1, 1935: Ottenau
- January 1, 1970: Rotenfels , spa, with its district Winkel (today: Bad Rotenfels)
- April 1, 1970: Selbach
- September 1, 1971: Freiolsheim with the hamlet of Moosbronn and the Mittelberg settlement
- April 1, 1972: Wuerttemberg part of the hamlet Moosbronn from the municipality of Bernbach
- April 1, 1972: Oberweier with Niederweier
- April 1, 1973: Sulzbach
- January 1, 1975: Hörden and Michelbach
Bad Rotenfels, Gaggenau and Ottenau together form a "locality" in accordance with the municipal code of Baden-Württemberg.
Before the incorporation of the 1970s (including Ottenau), Gaggenau had an area of 12.63 km².

According to the 2011 census , 17.5% of the population in 2011 were Protestant , 54.9% were predominantly Roman Catholic and 27.6% were non-denominational , belonged to another religious community or did not provide any information.

Religions
Gaggenau belonged to the diocese of Speyer and was assigned to the rural chapter of Kuppenheim. The Reformation was introduced from 1555 . But the place had to change denominations six times in the following years before it remained almost exclusively Catholic. Until 1891 Gaggenau was a subsidiary of Rotenfels, whose church was the mother church for the entire area. The current church dates from the Baroque period, the interior from the 18th century. In Gaggenau there was a chapel dedicated to St. Wendelin since the 17th century . In 1899 Gaggenau received its own parish church of St. Josef. Most of the other districts of Gaggau also have older Catholic churches. All parishes came to the newly founded Archdiocese of Freiburg in 1821/27 . They were assigned to the Murg Valley Dean's Office. Today there are the following parishes in the urban area of Gaggenau: St. Josef Gaggenau, St. Marien Gaggenau, Maria Hilf Moosbronn-Freiolsheim, St. Johann Nepomuk Hörden, St. Michael Michelbach, St. John the Baptist Oberweier , St. Laurentius Bad Rotenfels, St Nikolaus Selbach, St. Anna Sulzbach and St. Jodocus in Ottenau.
In the 19th century Protestants again moved to Gaggenau and founded their own community there. This was crowned in 1891 with the construction of its own church. This was destroyed in World War II and rebuilt in 1953. The community belongs to the parish of Baden-Baden and Rastatt of the Evangelical Church in Baden .
In addition to the two large churches, there are other Christian communities in Gaggenau, such as the New Apostolic Church and the faith community of Jehovah's Witnesses .
The approximately 1,000 Croatians living in Gaggenau also have their own Roman Catholic parish and cooperate with other Croatian parishes in Mittelbaden.
Furthermore, over 1,100 (mostly Turkish) Muslims live in Gaggenau. The Sultan-Ahmet Mosque , which belongs to DİTİB (Die Diyanet İşleri Türk İslam Birliği ), is located in the Bad Rotenfels district and has over 200 members.

In 1832, the Baden municipal code was introduced, followed by the German municipal code in 1935 , which provided for the enforcement of the Führer principle at community level. The mayor has held the title of Lord Mayor since 1971. His representative is the alderman with the official title of mayor.

coat of arms
Blazon : "In red a silver sester ." (= An old grain measure).
The city flag is white and red.
The coat of arms can already be traced in the seals of the place from the 18th century. First, however, in 1901 the place received a coat of arms, which showed a black half gear (symbol of industry) at the gap and a silver glass beaker (symbol of the glass industry) in a shield split by silver and blue. In 1938 the coat of arms was changed after the incorporation of the Ottenau community. It now showed for the first time the black Gaggenau Sester in silver and the lying silver Ottenau vine knife in red with a split shield. In 1958, both images were placed in a split shield (a silver sester in red and a black hip in silver). In the course of the community reform , however, the focus was on the sole Gaggenau symbol, the sester. This coat of arms was awarded to the city of Gaggenau on January 7, 1971 by the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of the Interior .
Town twinning
Gaggenau has been twinning with the city of Annemasse in France since 1970 and with the city of Sieradz in Poland since 2000 . After German reunification, there were friendly contacts with the city of Ludwigsfelde in Brandenburg for several years .

Buildings
The Catholic parish church of St. Josef dates from 1899, the Protestant St. Mark's Church originally from 1891. Both were badly damaged or destroyed in the Second World War and then rebuilt in major changes. The town hall was built in 1957 and 1958 after the previous building was destroyed along with most of the buildings in the city center during the air raids in World War II.
The Kurpark is located in the Bad Rotenfels district and the Rotenfels Castle Academy is located on its edge . The main building of the academy is a representative building with a classicist column portico. In 1818–1827 the previous production hall of a stoneware factory was converted into a country palace based on a design by Friedrich Weinbrenner . The baroque parish church of St. Laurentius in Bad Rotenfels was built in 1752–1766 by Ignaz Franz Krohmer. During a renovation in 1902–1903, the facade was given a neo-baroque remodeling. It is the third church building at this point. The Catholic Church of St. Laurentius was founded as a subsidiary of the former parish of St. Sixtus in Kuppenheim and is often referred to as the mother church of the Murg Valley. From the Rotenfels parish, which originally comprised the Murg Valley from Bischweier to Forbach, smaller parishes were split off into independence over the centuries. Other churches in the urban area are the Catholic Church of St. Johann Nepomuk in Hörden (built in 1894), the Catholic Church of St. Mary in the half-timbered village of Michelbach from the 13th century with later changes, the Catholic late Gothic Church of St. John the Baptist in Oberweier, the Catholic Church of St. Nikolaus Selbach from 1756, the neo-Romanesque church of St. Anna from 1884 in Sulzbach and the neo-Gothic parish church of St. Jodok from 1906 in Ottenau.
In the upper village of Bad Rotenfels, at the exit towards Winkel, is the Sebastian Chapel, built between 1747 and 1752, with an open vestibule and roof turret, which is smaller than the surrounding rural houses.
In addition, the cityscape of the city center and the districts is characterized by numerous fountains. The most striking is the goose fountain , built in 1981 and redesigned in 2016 by Gudrun Schreiner on Bahnhofsplatz. He takes up the legend of Gaggenau, which says that his goose ran away from a herding boy and that he found it again because of its loud “gag-gag” at the so-called Hilpertsloch below the Hilpert.
In the Hörden district, the raftsman's fountain is reminiscent of the traditional craft of the raftsman . The gargoyles represent traditional figures of the Hörden Carnival: the Fürig Barthel , the Schlempe and the domino . In the former center of Bad Rotenfels, in the lower Eichelbergstrasse, an old draw well shaft was rediscovered, restored and made accessible to the public again in the 1990s by the local history association.
In the 1980s, the Zurich architect Justus Dahinden built the city hotel Gaggenau on a triangular floor plan and the “Gass” chain of houses.
