history

Early history

There are four Roman sites on the Schopfheimer Flur, so that a scattered rural settlement can be assumed for this period. From 650 the Alemanni settled down. The name Schopfheim was first mentioned in 807 in a deed of donation from the St. Gallen monastery . The free farmer Himini with his sons donated his goods in "Villa Scofheim" to the monastery. In the Middle Ages and until the reorganization of Germany by Napoleon , Schopfheim belonged first to the Lords of Rötteln , then by inheritance (1316) to the Margrave of Hachberg-Sausenberg , and finally by inheritance (1503) to the Lords of Baden ( Margraviate Baden or Margraviate Baden- Durlach ); then to the enlarged Grand Duchy of Baden . The Reformation was supported from neighboring Basel in 1556 . In 1250, Schopfheim was granted town charter by Konrad I von Rötteln (the town elevation is to be seen in connection with the attempted Rötteln regional expansion) and is therefore the oldest town in the Markgräflerland , but due to its unfavorable location, war events (almost complete desettlement in the Thirty Years' War ) and because of the neighboring metropolis of Basel. Parts of the city fortifications have been preserved.

19th and 20th centuries

From 1835, similar to the rest of the Wiesental , a certain degree of industrialization took place. The reason for this was the nearby river Wiese, which was straightened and thus enabled the construction of commercial canals for large industries, as well as cheap labor from the Black Forest. In the revolutionary year of 1848, Schopfheim was the sideline of the Hecker uprising . In 1862, with the opening of the Wiesentalbahn , Schopfheim was connected to the railway network . The Foreign Minister of Baden at the time, Franz von Roggenbach, lived in Ehner-Fahrnau Castle . After 1945 numerous expellees settled here .

The remains of the medieval castles Burgholz , Steineck and Turmhölzle can be found in the district of Raitbach .
