history

Munzingen was first mentioned in 845. However, finds from the Stone Age indicate a very early settlement of the area. The ending "-ingen" in the place name indicates an Alemannic foundation. In the Middle Ages the place belonged to the Lords of Üsenberg for a long time , later to the Lords of Staufen and then to the Snewlin family from Freiburg under Habsburg suzerainty as part of Upper Austria . Therefore, the Reformation was not carried out in Munzingen and the place remained Catholic. Munzingen has been in Baden since 1806.

economy

The place is known nationwide as an important wine and asparagus growing area. Over 60% Pinot Noir , 25% Müller-Thurgau and 10% Pinot Blanc are grown by the Munzinger winemakers , most of whom belong to the Munzingen Winegrowers Association, on approx. 150 hectares of deep loess soil in the Kapellenberg site . Other specialties are Gewürztraminer and Muscatel .

It is named after Erentrudis von Salzburg and was first built in the second half of the 17th century. From 1750–1752 it was restored and refurbished by the sculptor Matthias Faller . Some of the equipment was brought to the Augustinian Museum in Freiburg .
