history

In a document from 1283, "a Vogt on the mountain" is mentioned, which is interpreted as a reference to the place.

In the Middle Ages, mining was practiced in Todtnauberg as in the entire region. After the end of medieval mining, Todtnauberg was characterized by emigration, in the 16th century only 10 families lived in the village. It was not until the early 19th century that the brush trade established itself in the village , which made Todtnauberg known far beyond the region. From 1870 on, tourism began to develop in the community, numerous summer visitors were drawn to the high-altitude town, and winter sports established themselves from 1906 .

Politically Todtnauberg was a divided place: Todtnauberg-Dorf belonged to the monastery of St. Blasien , Todtnauberg (consisting of the farms on the mountain slopes, including Ennerbach and Rütte) belonged to the Talvogtei Todtnau and thus to Upper Austria . After secularization, both parts of Todtnauberg fell to Baden, but formed two separate districts until 1914. In Baden Todtnauberg belonged to the Schönau district office until 1924 , after which it became part of the Schopfheim district office . In 1936 Todtnauberg was added to the district of Neustadt , in 1945 the place finally became part of the district of Lörrach .

On April 1, 1974 Todtnauberg was incorporated into the city of Todtnau.
