coat of arms

Blazon : In silver (white) a lowered red coat of arms with a silver (white) bar, floating above a red miter with red decorative ribbons, accompanied by two diagonally crossed black mallets and iron.

DEU Münstertal COA.svg

The coat of arms was awarded in 1972 by the Ministry of the Interior of the State of Baden-Württemberg to the municipality that was newly formed one year earlier. Its depiction ties in with the history of the place: the miter stands for the St. Trudpert Monastery , whose manorial rule was the Münstertal until 1806. The binding shield indicates the role of the Habsburgs as chief bailiffs. Mallets and irons are a reminder of the importance of mining in the municipality, which lasted until the 18th century.

Partner municipality

Münstertal maintains a partnership with Rittersgrün in the Erzgebirge , which is now part of the municipality of Breitenbrunn / Erzgeb. heard.

Museums

  • In the Black Forest House 1902 (formerly: the Kaltwasserhof ), in which the ARD series of the same name was filmed, which received the Adolf Grimme Prize in 2003 , there is a museum that reports on both television production and life on the mountain farm.
  • The apiculture museum is known far beyond the borders of Baden and reports on the coexistence of humans with bees from the beginnings in the Stone Age to the present. It is the largest of its kind in Europe.
  • The Teufelsgrund visitor mine reports on the mining tradition of the Black Forest. In the Middle Ages, silver was mined here, which brought great wealth to the then city of Münster. River spar and barite were mined until 1958 . In the previous centuries, lead ores were predominantly extracted, some of which were further processed on site in the Münstertal. The mine now has an asthma therapy tunnel, in which respiratory diseases and skin conditions are treated.
  • The museum for mining, forest and settlement history located in the town hall provides information about the tradition and history of the Munster valley.

Buildings

The Benedictine monastery of St. Trudpert was founded in the 9th century. For a long time, the monastery was the center of the village and the starting point for the Christianization of the southern Black Forest. Today the mother house of the Sisters of St. Joseph stands here. The ruins of Scharfenstein Castle are in the Obermünstertal district .

Deer sculpture

On the L 130 between the districts of Rotenbuck and Münsterhalden, strangers erected a life-size deer sculpture on a rock on the night of May 1, 2016.
