Igelsberg has been part of Freudenstadt since 1971 and is located in the Black Forest .

The place is a clearing settlement and was first mentioned in documents as Illigsberg around 1230 . Count Palatine Rudolf von Tübingen gave the place to the bishopric of Strasbourg as a fief . Igelsberg has belonged to the Reichenbach monastery office since 1381 and came to Württemberg with it in 1595 . From 1807 Igelsberg belonged to the Oberamt Freudenstadt. On July 1, 1971 Igelsberg was incorporated into Freudenstadt .

Igelsberg has almost 300 inhabitants and is characterized by agriculture. The village with numerous guesthouses and, since 1890, the Hotel Krone in the center of the village offers relaxation in the Black Forest area, especially for spa and holiday guests. The nearby Nagoldtalsperre reservoir offers the opportunity to swim and the developed forests in the area are ideal for hiking.
