Raich has been part of the Kleines Wiesental municipality in the Lörrach district in Baden-Württemberg since January 1, 2009 .
geography
location
Raich is located in the Southern Black Forest Nature Park in the valley of the Kleine Wiese at an altitude of 560 to 1160 meters. Around 70% of the former municipality area is forested.
The Raich local road is a pass crossing between Schwand and Holl.
structure
The villages of Raich, Hohenegg, Oberhäuser and Ried, the Scheurenhof farm and the individual houses and groups of houses Am Rain, Burstel and Lochhäuser (Im Loch) are in the area of the former municipality of Raich. The former municipality of Kastelhöfe, which is now part of the former municipality of Bürchau , and the abandoned castles of Alt-Waldeck and Sitliburg are located.
history
The place was mentioned as Aich in the 15th century. Earlier mentions are missing so far. With the reorganization of the Grand Duchy of Baden in 1809, the parts of Raich, Ried, Hohenerr and Oberhäuser became a single bailiwick or a coherent municipality, which was subordinate to the district office of Schopfheim . With the definitive dissolution of this district office on April 1, 1938, the state district office of Lörrach became responsible for Raich, which on June 15, 1939 together with the previous district of Lörrach as an association of local self-government by the district of Lörrach as a lower state administrative district ( organ lending ) and at the same time Self-governing body was replaced.
On January 1, 2009, the previously independent community of Raich was incorporated into the newly founded community of Kleines Wiesental.
politics
Until the dissolution of the community, the political organs consisted of the honorary mayor and the community council with eight members. The seat of the local community administration was the town hall built in 1868 in the Ried district.
Until its dissolution on January 1, 2009, the former municipality belonged to the municipal administration association “Kleines Wiesental” based in Tegernau . Today's Raich part of the Kleines Wiesental community has a village director and a local council with four members. Raich is represented by one member in the municipal council.
coat of arms
Blazon : "In silver, a red deer head with twelve-ended antlers growing from the lower edge of the shield, the Baden coat of arms floating between the poles." The coat of arms was designed by the General State Archives in Karlsruhe and adopted in 1904 by the Raich community formed in 1809. The stag's head is a reminder of the former manorial rights of the St. Blasien monastery in parts of the municipality, the coat of arms of Baden emphasizes the centuries-long Baden sovereignty.
Population and religion
Population development
The number of inhabitants of Raich has been steadily declining for many years: Even within the shrinking municipality as a whole, the decline in the population in the mountain villages, like Raich with around 20% since the turn of the millennium, is striking. The victory in the village competition "Our village has a future" in 1985 shows that the village has made above-average efforts to increase its attractiveness.

religion
The historical affiliation to the margraviate of Baden-Durlach, which introduced the Reformation in 1556, is still reflected in the religious affiliation to this day. The vast majority of the population is Protestant and is looked after by the Evangelical Church Community of Oberes Kleines Wiesental. There is a Protestant chapel in the suburb of Ried. The Catholics are looked after by the pastoral care unit Mittleres Wiesental, which also has a church in Hausen .
Culture and sights
Regular events
The club tradition in the small Wiesental Raich eV (BKW) every two years by a traditional festival, with craft and agricultural customs are presented. In the intervening year, the association organizes a “customs market”.
In addition to the many farming and handicraft activities that were carried out in many villages, the “Billich'sche Feilenhauerei” interest group demonstrates the handicraft of the file cutter in Raich . Until 1975, the Billich family ran a file cutting business in the Wieslet district of the Kleines Wiesental community. When the company was closed in 1991, the inventory was taken over by an interest group and initially stored. In 2016, the file cutting shop was rebuilt in a specially built extension to the Lindenhalle in Raich.
economy
In the 19th century, the places were considered to be wealthy farming settlements. The sometimes extreme slopes made a mechanization of agriculture impossible, so only a few residents found their income in the purely rural existence. Today Raich lives from modest tourism and is home to commuters.
Others
In 1985 Raich received gold at the national competition "Our village should be more beautiful" and is allowed to call himself Golddorf.
