geography
location
Wieslet is located at an altitude of 404 to 740 meters in the Southern Black Forest Nature Park , where the valley of the Kleiner Wiese widens into a fertile plain. More than half of the former municipal area is covered by forest. The main town ( 387 m above sea level ) is separated into an eastern and a western part by the river Kleine Wiese.
South of the populated core, the L 136 leads over a small pass crossing at the level of the junction to Schillighof at an altitude of 420 m above sea level. NHN to Weitenau .
structure
In the area of the former municipality of Wieslet are the village of Wieslet, the Eichholz part of the municipality and the hamlet of Henschenberg. The lost Rotenberg Castle and the Schweighof desert are in the former municipality area .
history
Wieslet was first mentioned in a document in 1157.
In the Middle Ages, the castle of the Lords of Rotenburg, a sideline of the Lords of Rötteln , stood on the Rotenberg north of the town . It was destroyed in 1356 by the Basel earthquake , which not only reduced the city of Basel to rubble, but also caused great damage along the Upper Rhine and in Breisgau . The common people's wooden huts turned out to be more resilient. Since 1936 the place belongs to the district of Lörrach . On January 1, 2009, the previously independent community of Wieslet was incorporated into the newly founded community of Kleines Wiesental.

The municipal council consisted of eight members who were directly elected for five years each. The last election was in 2004.

Local council since January 1st, 2009
On January 1, 2009, the previous municipal councils formed a transitional local council for the Wieslet district in the Kleines Wiesental municipality. In August 2009, a newly elected five-member local council was put into office, from whose midst a local councilor was elected.
coat of arms
