Gaisbach is a residential area that belongs to the Baden-Baden district of Lichtental in Baden-Württemberg .

Geographical location

Gaisbach is located to the right and left, surrounded by high forest slopes, in the lowest valley of the Rubach , which lasts westwards and flows into the Oosbach a hundred meters after the last house from the right , the right upper reaches of the Oos . The place has only three house numbers today. The state road 79, which runs through the valley, connects it downwards via Lichtental with the city center of Baden-Baden, upwards with the Black Forest Pass Rote Lache and across the valley path on the other side with Bermersbach and finally with Forbach in the upper Murg valley .

history

Between Oberbeuern and Schmalbach, protected by Kuchenberg and Hummelsberg, the Zinken Gaisbach lies at the eastern end of the long stretch of the Oostal road. Zinken is the synonymous Baden expression for hamlet , a small collection of farms.

Centuries ago, only a few fiefs and a sawmill were built on the tributary of the Rubach into the Oos. Farmers, forest workers and sawmillers made their living there.

Gaisbach was first mentioned in a document in 1253, ten years after the first documentary confirmation of the Cistercian Abbey of Lichtenthal and three years before Gaisbach was mentioned in a document from the city of Baden .

More than 600 years later, Baden businessmen established a "trout breeding establishment" on the site of the disused mill, which was completed in 1877.

In 1884 an inn was opened. In 1910 the former head waiter Fritz Müller named the restaurant "Fischkultur" and began to expand a hotel.

The hotel was to undergo a generous further expansion at the beginning of the 1940s, apparently with the intention of providing the National Socialist governor of the region with comfortable and strategically favorable accommodation, but this was prevented by the Second World War.

In 1965, the trout farm and the Hotel Fischkultur gained nationwide attention through the successful television series Der Forellenhof filmed there . The name of the hotel was changed to Waldhotel Forellenhof .
