history

Weyerbach was first mentioned in a document in 1235. Later names of the village were Wygerbach (1289) and Wigerbach (1447). Celle was first mentioned in a document in 1242 , later spellings were Zell (1367) and Cell (1400). In 1551, Zell, Weierbach and Riedle became part of Upper Austria together with Ortenau . In 1805 these three localities became Baden.

In 1811 the so-called Zeller staff, to which the communities of Zell, Weierbach, Riedle, Fessenbach and Oberrammersweier belonged, was dissolved. This was a consequence of the request submitted by Oberrammersweier in 1810 to separate from the Zell staff. Finally, on July 15, 1820, the three communities of Zell, Weierbach and Riedle were merged under the name of Zell-Weierbach at their request . In 1850, due to the economic hardship in Zell, some citizens emigrated to Missouri in the USA, what is now Ste. Genevieve County , about 60 miles south of St. Louis .

On January 1, 1971, Zell-Weierbach was incorporated into Offenburg.

Viticulture

The wine cooperative Zell-Weierbach founded in 1923 is known for its wines, especially the Zeller Abtsberg, a Pinot Noir red wine. Other grape varieties are: Riesling , Müller-Thurgau and Ruländer . The Baden Wine Route runs through the village .

Attractions

The Zell-Weierbach School Museum was founded in 1996. It is based on the collection started in the 1970s by the school board member Jupp Wunderle. The rooms to be visited include a former teacher's apartment in the school house, a sewing room with numerous handicrafts and a library with over 13,000 school books from the last three centuries. In 2005 the museum was renamed the Museum for the former Grand Ducal Baden Schools .

The Zeller Barefoot Path is a hiking trail that aims to motivate people to walk barefoot in the forest. The so-called Wolfsgrube has an outdoor enclosure with a petting zoo.

The Brandeckturm is a lookout tower on the summit of the 686 meter high Brandeckkopf in the middle of the Brandeck landscape protection area. From the Bielenstein Castle , which was destroyed in the 16th century, nothing remains today.
