history

The settlement of today's municipality began in the 11th century partly from the monastery of St. Blasien , partly from secular lords such as the Lords of Tiefenstein. The many small towns and hamlets mostly emerged from individual farms. For centuries, the northern part of today's community, especially the Urberg district, belonged to the covenant and ban of St. Blasien ; the southern part formed the union of Wolpadingen in the county of Hauenstein . The border ran through the village of Wittenschwand. Both areas were part of Upper Austria . In 1806 they came to the newly created Grand Duchy of Baden .

Today's community Dachsberg (southern Black Forest) was formed on January 1, 1971 by the union of the communities Urberg, Wilfingen, Wittenschwand and Wolpadingen.
