history

City center
town hall

Haslach is a very old city. Finds from Roman times (ceramic shards, altar stone, Roman grave relief) suggest that there was a settlement at the time of the construction of the military road through the Kinzig valley (around 74 AD). Archaeological finds indicate a Roman road station. Haslach was founded by the Zähringers in the 11th century as a market town and center of local silver mining. The latter function experienced an enormous boom under the rule of the Fürstenbergers (first mention of the place in 1240 ). Haslach was the seat of a mountain judge who administered 400 tunnels and shafts in the Kinzig valley. In 1241 Haslach was entered in the Staufer imperial tax list with the comparatively high amount of 40 silver marks; it was elevated to the status of town in 1278.

From 1500 the city was part of the Swabian Empire . After the decline of silver mining in the 16th century, Haslach continued to develop as an official and market town. In 1704 it was completely burned down during the War of the Spanish Succession. Based on the medieval floor plan of the city, comparatively modern half-timbered buildings were built in southern German baroque dismantling. After the formation of the Grand Duchy of Baden in 1803, Haslach became the seat of the district office of the same name . When this was dissolved in 1857, the city became part of the Wolfach District Office , which in 1939 became the Wolfach District .

In the last months of the Second World War, there were two subcamps of the Natzweiler-Struthof concentration camp and one subcamp of the Schirmeck-Vorbruck security camp near the city, on the volcano . The reason for the establishment of the camp was the relocation of the production facilities of several armaments factories to the bomb-proof mine tunnels of the hard stone works Vulkan. Around 1,700 prisoners from 19 countries were forced to work in the camp under excruciating conditions . Hundreds of prisoners did not survive their stay there. On April 28, 1948, these tunnels were blasted, which was also recorded by seismic stations. It was not until 1998 that the “Vulkan Memorial” was inaugurated to commemorate this time.

The community has had the addition of the name in the Kinzigtal since November 22, 1962. On December 1, 1971, the previously independent community of Bollenbach was incorporated. In 1973 the Wolfach district was dissolved and Haslach was incorporated into the Ortenau district.
