history

The name Zunzingen first appeared in 799 in the “Codex Lauresham” of the Lorsch monastery . In the Middle Ages, the St. Blasien monastery owned extensive property from donations and foundations, including in Zunzingen. The monasteries Lorsch and Adelhausen also belonged to the landowners in Zunzingen . For a long time, Zunzingen was part of the bailiwick in Badenweiler , to which the surrounding villages Schweighof , Niederweiler , Lipburg and Sehringen also belonged. At the beginning of the 19th century, the rule of Badenweiler went on in the Grand Duchy of Baden ; The development of fruit and wine growing on the fertile loess soil had reached a climax with the land consolidation in the 1950s.

The village burned down in 1409 when the Habsburgs and Baslers (Basler War ) faced each other here. In addition to the destruction in the Thirty Years' War, there was also a plague epidemic between 1624 and 1629 . During a renewed fire in 1633, many residents fled to Basel . After the devastation by imperial troops, Zunzingen suffered further destruction in the winter of 1635/1936, this time by the French. In 1809, Zunzingen became an independent municipality and experienced a long peaceful period, which was only ended by the First World War. At the end of the Second World War, Zunzingen had to cut approx. 100 fathoms of wood from the Zunzingen forest as a war debt .
