Location of the community of Kleines Wiesental in the district of Lörrach | ||
Kleines Wiesental ( Alemannic Chlais Wiisedal ) is a municipality in the district of Lörrach in Baden-Württemberg , which arose on January 1, 2009 from the merger of the previously independent municipalities of Bürchau , Elbenschwand , Neuenweg , Raich , Sallneck , Tegernau , Wies and Wieslet . The river Kleine Wiese is named after it .
geography
The new community is located in the extreme southwest of the Black Forest . The municipality extends from the southern slope of the Belchen to the confluence of the small in the large meadow . The little one is connected to the Großenwiesental via the Hau .
The community is at an altitude of 300 to 1400 meters.
history
Originally the valley was divided into ten communities. At the beginning of the 1970s, the two southernmost communities Langenau and Enkenstein were incorporated into the town of Schopfheim as part of the municipal reorganization of Baden-Württemberg . The other eight communities joined together in the Small Wiesental Community Administration Association. With a population of between 166 and 657, they were among the smallest independent municipalities in Baden-Württemberg in terms of inhabitants and were dependent on subsidies from the state budget to carry out their tasks.
Following the announcement by the Freiburg Regional Council that it would no longer grant these so-called communities in need from 2010 to compensate for their administrative budgets, the merger of the eight communities was considered as a way out of the looming financial crisis.
In a citizens' hearing on July 6, 2008, 87 percent of voters in the eight municipalities spoke out in favor of founding a unified municipality, with a low turnout . On October 8, 2008, the municipal councils of the eight municipalities followed this vote and sealed the merger on January 1, 2009. The contract was signed on October 21, 2008, and at the same time it was decided to dissolve the municipal administration association.
