economy

In the past, the municipality's trades focused exclusively on agriculture and forestry . Today there are only a few full-time businesses left. The cultivation of special crops is still intensively cultivated; this is mostly fruit growing, such as plums and strawberries . Bühler plums are also known nationwide. However, viticulture is even more important .

The first industrial companies that settled in the Bühlertal were the sawmills that processed the wood of the Black Forest , up to eight pieces over time. There were also numerous cigar factories that processed the tobacco cultivated in the Upper Rhine Valley. Since 1939, the settlement of the automotive sales and organization company AVOG , today part of Robert Bosch GmbH , has shaped the industrialization of the place.
