The Rote Lache is a mountain saddle ( 690 m above sea level ) on the ridge that borders the northern Black Forest Murgtal on its west side. A pass road runs over the saddle between the Murgtal near Forbach and the valley of the Oos near Baden-Baden . The top of the pass is the location of the hotel and restaurant of the same name, which, with its outbuildings, forms the Rote Lache residential area .
geography
The Rote Lache residential area is in the Forbach district of Bermersbach . The Baden-Baden district boundary runs along the ridge to the east, and the Weisenbach district borders on the Murgtäler side to the north of the road .
The connecting road L 79 between Forbach and Baden-Baden leads over two left side valleys of the Murg to the top of the pass, first through the Sersbachtal, before changing over the Bermersbacher Terasse terrace into the Altenbachtal and then long and in numerous turns mostly on its upper slope through the forest area between Ruberg and Maienplatz leads. It overcomes 384 meters of altitude with an average gradient of five percent. The top of the pass offers a view of the Murg valley. On the other side, the road descends less sinuously through the Rubach valley via Schmalbach to Gaisbach , where the Rubach flows into the Oosbach, and further down the valley to Oberbeuern and Baden-Baden-Lichtental .
The mountains to just below the saddle Forbach Granite established, the region of the saddle consists of the zechstein counting Tiger sandstone formation . In the south, the 876.5 m high Ruberg rises with rocks from the Lower Buntsandstein .
history
At the time of the colonization of the Murgtal by the Ebersteiners in the late Middle Ages, the rulership border to the Margraviate of Baden ran along the Rote Lache . Presumably there was already a path between Baden-Baden and Forbach at that time. Over time, the trade route of regional importance for carts was expanded. The construction of the Landstrasse followed in 1906. On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the reign of Grand Duke Friedrich I and the golden wedding anniversary with Grand Duchess Luise , the new street was named Großherzog-Friedrich-Luisen-Strasse .
As early as the 19th century, there was a refuge for forest workers and market-goers on the top of the pass on the way between Murg- and Oostal. After the road opened in 1907, a large log house replaced the last refuge. The then still independent community of Bermersbach advertised it for catering and in 1909 the first tenant, the Rastatt landlord Emil Gantner, set up an inn here. In 1921 he bought the area with its own spring water supply from the community and created the first guest rooms. The property was continuously expanded into a high-altitude hotel. The Roll family, operating from 1956, had an additional guest house and motel built. To promote tourism in the winter season, the municipality of Bermersbach built a ski lift on the northeast flank of the Ruberg in 1970. It was dismantled after several winters with little snow in 1997, and the cleared slope can be used for sledding in winter .
etymology
There are different interpretations of the name. In place or field names, 'pool' can stand for 'shallow puddle' or for 'border marking' and 'border'. This could mean the existing boundary of power and district or water-filled hollows in which animals wallow with pleasure and noticeably.
To explain the name element 'red', reference is made to the color of the local rock or a possible border marking in the color, while others see a cleared name , as with other place names in the Murg Valley : ' cleared Lache'.
