climate
The climate in this area borders on a Mediterranean climate and there is sufficient rainfall all year round. Due to the proximity to the Black Forest, however, more rain falls throughout the year than in the Upper Rhine Plain . The Köppen climate type is the warm, humid, temperate climate zone ( oceanic climate ). However, especially in summer and increasingly in winter, there is a moist subtropical (Cfa) character due to the mean temperatures in July and August just below 22 ° C. The city is near the Kaiserstuhl , a series of volcanic hills a few kilometers away. The Kaiserstuhl warms the area significantly, so that Emmendingen falls into one of the warmest regions in Germany.

history
The first written mention of the name Emmendingen goes back to the year 1091 in connection with the personal name Ulrich von Emmendingen ( Oudalrich de Anemoutingen ). A few years later the place itself was mentioned. The first source that speaks of the castle Hochburg (Hachberg) comes from the year 1127. The Tennenbach Monastery , a Cistercian foundation, also dates back to the 12th century .
In the 14th century Emmendingen belonged to the margraviate of Baden-Hachberg , although it was pledged to Martin Malterer from 1356 to 1386 . In 1415, the Margrave Otto II von Hachberg sold the castle and rule of Hachberg to the Margrave Bernhard I of Baden , with which the Margraviate Baden-Hachberg became part of the Margraviate of Baden . In 1418 the villages Emmendingen and were Eichstetten at the instigation of Bernard of King Sigismund the market law . Only six years later, the market town was captured by the Freiburg and Basel residents during the Mühlburg War and “Stettlin was burned”. From 1500 Emmendingen was part of the Swabian Empire . In the Peasants' War of 1525, Emmendinger took part in the unsuccessful siege of the stronghold and the capture of the Tennenbach Monastery, which caught fire. In 1584, succeeding Margrave Karl II , the margraviate of Baden was divided again. The market town of Emmendinga became the residence of the margrave of Baden-Hachberg Jakob III for a short time . , to which he granted town charter on January 1, 1590 . In the same year Jakob converted to Catholicism after the Emmendinger Religious Discussion he had called . A little later he died at the age of 28. According to the first received section report from the then medical faculty in Freiburg, he was poisoned with arsenic . The rule fell back to his Protestant brother Ernst Friedrich .
In the Thirty Years' War Emmendingen was heavily damaged. In 1648, only 100 remained of the 800 inhabitants.
On October 19, 1796, as part of the First Coalition War, the Battle of Emmendingen between the Austrians under Karl von Österreich-Teschen and the French under Jean-Victor Moreau took place here, and the Austrians won. In 1809 Emmendingen became the seat of the district office of the same name , which in 1939 became the district of Emmendingen . During the district reform of Baden-Württemberg in 1973 , the district of Emmendingen remained essentially unchanged. The population of the city of Emmendingen exceeded the 20,000 mark in 1972 as part of the municipal reform. Then she applied for a major district town , which was carried out by the state government of Baden-Württemberg on January 1, 1973.
The districts of Emmendingen also have a long history. With the exception of Mundingen, they were part of the Bailiwick and the parish of Emmendingen. In 1803 they belonged to the Oberamt Hochberg, from which in 1809 the District Office of Emmendingen emerged.
Kollmarsreute was first mentioned in 1385 as "zu Kolmers Ruti in Brisgowe". The place was originally on the Elz (Altdorf), but was moved to its current location in 1784 due to the risk of flooding. Maleck was first mentioned in 1317 as villa Malnegge , Mundingen 1147, Wasser 1419 as "uff dem Wasser" and Windenreute in 1094 as Winedoriuti.

history
Emmendingen initially belonged to the Diocese of Constance and was subordinate to the Archdiakonat Breisgau. In 1556, Margrave Karl II introduced the Reformation in Emmendingen, which means that people had to believe what the sovereign dictated to them - according to the principle of Cuius regio, eius religio according to the Augsburg religious peace . 1590 returned the margraviate of Baden-Hachberg under Jakob III. briefly returned to Catholicism . After his violent death, the Protestant faith was reintroduced. After that, Emmendingen was a predominantly Protestant city. The municipality of Emmendingen belonged to the Hochberg specialty and was the seat of the superintendent .
In the 19th century Emmendingen became the seat of a dean of the Evangelical Church in Baden . The Protestant town church (existing components from the 15th century with later alterations and extensions) is the parish church for the Christ Parish (lower and middle town) and the Luther parish (upper town), which was built in 1904. The St. John's Parish was established in 1937 and its seat has been in Windenreute since 1964. This community also looks after the districts of Kollmarsreute (which has had its own church since 1913) and Maleck. The fourth evangelical parish is the Paulus parish established in 1969 for the eastern area of Bürkle-Bleiche, for the western Bürkle-Bleiche and the district of water the Dietrich-Bonhoeffer community exists. In the Mundingen district there is a very old evangelical congregation that used to gather on the Wöpplinsberg, since 1727 in the newly built church. All Protestant parishes belong to the Emmendingen dean's office.
In the 19th century, Catholics were allowed to settle in Emmendingen again. From 1863 the church of St. Boniface was built. The parish curate of 1864 was elevated to a parish in 1882. As the number of Catholic residents increased rapidly, today's Bonifatius Church was built in the neo-Gothic style in two construction phases (1894–1896 and 1911–1913) under the Freiburg architect Max Meckel . The previous church was removed and it was rebuilt in Denzlingen as St. Joseph's Church. A second Catholic parish (St. Johannes) was established in 1975 in the largest Emmendingen district of Bürkle-Bleiche. On January 1, 2013, the Roman Catholic parish Emmendingen-Teningen was established, to which - apart from the patients in the clinic pastoral care - over 13,000 Catholics in Emmendingen, Freiamt, Sexau and Teningen belong.
In addition to the two large Christian churches, there are also congregations in Emmendingen that belong to free churches , including two evangelical free church congregations ( Baptists ) and one free evangelical congregation . The New Apostolic Church and Jehovah's Witnesses are also represented in Emmendingen.
In 1716 a Jewish community was founded with the admission of five families , whose synagogue on Schlossplatz was destroyed on November 10, 1938 during the November pogrom. On 17 October 1940, the last Emmendinger Jews to have been Gurs in southern France deported . In 1995, the Teschemacher family founded a new Jewish community that currently has around 360 members. Many of the members come from the former Soviet Union, the rest from Germany, Israel and other countries. The new synagogue (Gastroturm) is located in the Landvogtei and is supposedly the only "tower synagogue" in the world. After many years without a rabbi, Moshe Navon took up his post as rabbi of Emmendingen in September 2011, which the Jewish community resigned at the end of 2013. Rabbi Yaakov Yosef Yudkowsky has been his successor since 2014.
Since 1979 there has been a Turkish-Islamic cultural association in the city. This has a prayer room (mosque).

Buildings
The Margrave Castle is a Renaissance building with an octagonal stair tower on the north side. In 1590 the famous Emmendinger Religious Discussion took place in an adjacent building, the chapter house, which Jakob III. von Baden-Hachberg (1577–1590) had suggested. Today the Museum of City History and the Hirsmüller Photo Museum are housed here.
The locksmith's house came into the possession of the Margraves of Baden as Gremppischer Hof in 1588 and since then has been the residence of the highest official of the Margraviate of Hachberg . The building has been rebuilt several times and still clearly shows the baroque style today, but also the strong structural changes that were made in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Johann Georg Schlosser , Goethe's brother-in-law, bought the building in 1774 as a private house and lived there until 1787. A plaque on the building commemorates his then famous guests in this house, including Duke Karl August von Weimar , Jakob Michael Reinhold Lenz , Johann Georg Jacobi and Johann Caspar Lavater . Goethe, whose sister Cornelia was married to Schlosser, stayed here in 1775 and 1779.
The Protestant town church, mentioned for the first time in 1236 - in pre-Reformation times a St. Martin's Church with the patronage on November 11th - was rebuilt between 1430 and 1434 after being destroyed in 1424. The choir was preserved from this. The church was rebuilt in 1813–1815 and in 1858/59 the classicistic tower was replaced by a neo-Gothic one. Further expansions took place in 1903–1905.
The Catholic Church of St. Boniface was built in 1863 and expanded in 1894–1896 and 1911–1913. Inside there is a late Gothic winged altar painted in 1473 by Friedrich Herlin . In 1938 the church received an organ from M. Welte & Sons .
A little outside the city (about one kilometer east of the district of Windenreute) is the well-preserved ruins of Hochburg (Hachberg), one of the largest castle ruins in Germany.
The monastery chapel Tennenbach is next to the former farm building (today Gasthaus Engel) the last remaining building of the formerly extensive area of the Cistercian monastery Tennenbach . It initially served as a hospital chapel. After the introduction of the Reformation (1556) it was the parish church for around 25 families of craftsmen who were in the service of the monastery until 1836. The Gothic gem from the middle of the 13th century is located in a side valley of the Brettental in a scenic area. The Romanesque / early Gothic church of the monastery was completely dismantled from 1829 after it was abolished in 1803 and transferred to the Grand Duchy of Baden. Many Tennenbacher sandstone blocks, pedestals, capitals and portal elements were brought to Freiburg and integrated into the construction of the first Protestant church, the Ludwigskirche . She fell victim to the bombing of Freiburg in 1944 .
The Eichbergturm is a lookout tower on the 369 m high Eichberg above the city. The tower towers over the 30 m high oak forest with its pulpit by 10 meters and with the top by 17 meters. It is the highest observation tower in the Emmendingen district and the tallest wooden tower in Baden-Württemberg. From the pulpit there is a great panoramic view of the surrounding area, the entire Black Forest ridge to the Isteiner Klotz , the Swiss Jura , the Vosges chain and the Kaiserstuhl . The viewing pulpit was made of oak and sits on the six Douglas trunks, which together with an upper platform frame form a truncated pyramid. The stairwell is a filigree cylinder made of sectional steel and structural steel mesh, with 240 steps made of oak. The tower, built by an association founded in 1999, was handed over to the city of Emmendingen on September 17, 2005 and is now open to the public.

There are the following churches in the districts:
The former Evangelical Church of Kollmarsreute, built in 1913, is now a fire station. The Evangelical Church of Mundingen, consecrated to St. Mauritius in the Middle Ages , was expanded to its present size in 1727 using the material from the parish church on the Wöpplinsberg. The Evangelical Church of Wasser was built in the 18th century.
Up until the beginning of the 18th century, the parish church for Mundingen, Niederemmendingen (until 1806) and Keppenbach (until 1660) as well as various farmsteads between today's Freiamt and Mundingen stood on the Wöpplinsberg. The parish church on the Wöpplinsberg was mentioned for the first time in 1136, when the then Bishop of Constance confirmed possessions in the Ortenau, the Breisgau and the Alsace to the Schuttern monastery . Their patronage is controversial: both a St. Peter and a St. Barbara consecration are suspected. In the period after the Crusades, devotion to St. Barbara, a helper in need from Asia Minor, began in Western Europe . They were also remembered on the Wöpplinsberg. The Gothic St. Barbara statue in the old church in Reute was very likely on the Wöpplinsberg until the Reformation in 1556. However, the church suffered great damage in the Thirty Years' War. In 1693 the pastor left the place and moved to Mundingen. After that the church fell into disrepair. In summer 2005 it was possible to locate the parts of the foundation that were preserved in the ground.
Today, not far from the former church, there is a chapel built between 1871 and 1876 and dedicated to the Mother of God, Mary.
The "Higher Citizens School" Emmendingen, which emerged in 1848 from the Latin school in the diaconate house, moved to 1 Hebelstrasse in 1864. The building there housed the subsequent secondary school until it moved out at the end of 1901 (see above: educational institutions ). After the First World War , the building served as a union building . Expropriated by the National Socialists in 1933, the building, known as the “ Horst Wessel House ”, was the seat of the district leadership of the NSDAP . In 1945 the house was returned to the Federation of Trade Unions. Today it is owned by the city of Emmendingen.
Theater, carnival
There has been an amateur theater tradition in Emmendingen since 1924 . In that year the Dramaturgische Gesellschaft was founded and the first play to be performed was the comedy Im Weisse Rössl in the Dreikönigssaal. After two interruptions, this group traded under the name Volksbühne Emmendingen from 1962 and offered open-air theater , at that time still on the square by the old Margrave Castle . In 1969 the Volksbühne moved into the former quarry behind the disused Maja shoe factory . At the end of 2001 the association filed for bankruptcy. In 2002, former members of the Volksbühne founded the Theater im Steinbruch Emmendingen e. V. , which has staged a play for adults and one for children every summer since then, and sometimes a winter play is also shown. The Theater im Steinbruch is a member of the Association of German Open Air Theaters and the Association of German Amateur Theaters . The open-air stage offers 315 covered seats. In addition to the theater, open-air concerts are also held there.
The improvisation theater group UNGENIERT has been an integral part of the Emmendingen cultural scene since 2005.

Memorials
_8338_jiw.jpg)
At the location of the former synagogue on Schlossplatz , a memorial plaque has been commemorating the destruction of the synagogue since 1968. In 1988, after a public discussion, this board was supplemented by a second, on which the persecution and extermination of the Jewish community in Emmendingen and the perpetrators of the November pogrom in 1938 are discussed . In addition, since 1999, a bronze plaque embedded in the floor of the square with a greatly reduced floor plan and a portal view has been a reminder of the Jewish church. The synagogue location and the floor plan were made recognizable by darker paving stones as early as 1994 when the square, which had previously served as a market and car park for years, was paved. A memorial for the Jews deported to Gurs was erected east of the place where the Torah shrine was once located . The memorial is part of the decentralized memorial project Mahnmal Neckarzimmern and was designed by an Emmendingen school class in the form of a Star of David made of iron bars. Next to it is the house in which the first synagogue was located until 1823 and which today serves as the parish hall of the Jewish community in Emmendingen. At the entrance to the Jewish cemetery , a stone commemorates all the victims of Nazism . It is surrounded by five steles on which the names of the murdered Jews of Emmendingen, the resistance fighters and the people murdered in psychiatry are recorded.
