history

Staufenberg was first mentioned in writing in 1274 as vinea Stoufenberg . It originally consisted of two separate settlements, the upper village and the lower or lower village. As a former Speyrian fiefdom of the Counts of Eberstein , Staufenberg remained Protestant even after the Ebersteiners died out, making it one of the few Protestant islands in the Baden part of the Murg Valley . Agriculture and animal husbandry were the main sources of income for the Staufenberg population. Viticulture has played an important role since the beginning. After this became unprofitable in the 19th century due to the great competition, the Staufenbergers operated the first commercial strawberry cultivation in Germany from around 1840 and well into the 20th century .

On January 1, 1971, Staufenberg was incorporated into the city of Gernsbach .
