Saeckingen

Geography:
Located in the most southwest corner of Landkreis Waldshut, Saeckingen sits on the shores of the Rhein river. It is 290 - 600 meters above sea level. This district city had a population of 1.200 in 1800, by 1900 there were 4, 700 inhabitants. Today the population is 13,600 residents.
The villages of Rippolingen and Walbach were incorporated into Saeckingen on 1 April 1972. Harpolingen was also put under Saeckingen jurisdiction on 1 January 1973.

History:
The first documented evidence of the city's name as "Seckinga" dates from 878. Numerous relics from the stone, bronze and iron age indicate a relatively dense settlement in earlier times.
In the second half of the first century Romans settled here and reputedly built a castle on the island where the city now stands. In the fourth and fifth century, the Alamannen tribe expelled the Romans and founded a settlement on the right bank of the Rhein river with its center in what is today Obersaeckingen.
In the sixth and seventh century, the earliest Alemannian missionary, the Holy Friedolin, was founded on the island. The monks monastery was disbanded in 1485, but the nunnery attained great religious, spiritual, cultural and political importance. It became a stronghold for Franconian influence in the Alamannian region and received considerable land grants from the Merowinger and Karolinger kings in Rheintal, Wiesental and Fricktal and far into the region of what is now Switzerland. In 1801 Fricktal lands were ceded to France and later to Switzerland. The monastery in 1806, became a victim of secularization after existing for more than a thousand years.
Next to the monastery since the time of the Karolingers stood a royal fort, for Karolinger and later kings. Emperor Friedrich Barbarossa held court last in Saeckingen in February 1173.
The monastery had a great economic and political influence between the 10th and 12th century. During that time, the monastery founded a market where its collected agricultural dues were sold and also presented the surrounding villagers with the opportunity to exchange their wares. This market enabled a previously boned people, through free market rights, to attain citizenship in their own right.
Over time, the free market status developed into a town council as a representation of the people. The town received more privileges, a growing means of self government and finally city status with rights.
The Counts of Hapsburg were granted administration of the monastery when Emperor Rotbart held court. The mayor, as an official of the Hapsburgs, then took over administration until 1476 when the office of mayor became a town responsibility.
Tourism blossomed even in the middle Ages, promoted by pilgrimages in honor of St. Friedolin and the local thermal baths.
The 30 Years War caused severe setbacks to the development of the citizens when Swedish troops invaded the town in 1633 and 1634 and during the occupation of French and Swedish forces in 1650. Under Ludwig XIV, the town was sacked and burnt, even the cathedral.
Fricktal was separated and the river Rhein became the border. Under the terms of the Treaty of Pressburg, the town became part of the Grand Duchy of Baden in 1806.
Saeckingen became the center of district administration in the second half of the 19th century. Textile manufacture brought a new upswing to the town. Further industrial growth brought housing expansion and population increases.
Since 1945 much noteworthy construction in education has taken place, such as, a high school, Hans Thoma School and a junior high school. Also, a public pool, and a stadium. In the years after the war, sewerage and sewerage treatment works were modernized.
1972 saw the start of the construction of a spa and health center. Two sanatoriums and a large health clinic were built near Bergsee Mountain Lake in 1977. People there undergo treatment for rheumatic diseases and circulation disorders.

Schachen

Geography:
Schachen came under the administrative jurisdiction of Albbruck in 1973. The village was previously part of the larger district of Saeckingen. The small village of Schachen is located only four kilometers north of Albbruck. Its population in the early 1800's was only 811, by the year 1900 this number increased to 409. Today, Schachen has 650 inhabitants.

History:
The village was first mentioned in official documents in the 14th century. It can be assumed however that this location was settled much earlier.
Schachen belonged for a long time to the Hochsal Union, which was part of the Hauenstein Unification.
In 1852, a great fire destroyed much of the village, seventeen of the villagers homes were completely destroyed. The village chapel, built in 1880 is dedicated to St. Joseph. Later, that year, a school and city hall were constructed.
After WWII a children's playground and multipurpose meeting rooms were added.

Segeten

Geography:
The village of Segeten lies 882 meters above sea level in the area between the Murg and Alb. In 1972, the 244 inhabitants of Segeten became part of the District of Goerwihl.

History:
Segeten appeared later in official documents than most villages of the region. It was not mentioned in the parish register of Goerwihl until 1491. It was part of that parish until 1924.
This community once belonged to the district of Goerwihl in the county of Hauenstein. A two headed eagle carved in stone on the old Murg bridge near the Hetzlen Mill, serves as a reminder of the region's adherence to Austria, at one time.
One of the chief leaders of the Salpeterer workers was a Segeten resident, Johann Wasmer, known as Gaudi (fun-loving) Hans. Before he could begin serving an imposed sentence, banishment to Hungary, he died in a prison of Waldshut on November 14, 1747.
As a results of economic hardship, more than 300 persons emigrated from the village during the 19th century, mainly to the United States. Among them was Joseph Schauble (1863-1965). He later prospered for decades as the Benedictine Abbott and founder of the monastery in St. Benedict, Louisiana. The elementary school of Segeten was dissolved in 1973. Children of Segeten attend school in nearby Herrischwand.

Unteralpfen

Geography:
Located in the Alb Valley, Unteralpfen is 10 kilometers northeast from the district village of Albbruck, and only four kilometers north of Birndorf. The population of Unteralpfen has decreased over the years. There were 780 inhabitants, while today that number is down to 600 residents.

History:
The first official record, with mention of Unteralpfen dates 21 September 850. At that time Graf Lantfrith von Klettgau, of the locality of Alaffin, gave his property to the convent in Rheinau. Unteralpfen belonged to the county of Hauenstein, in the Union of Birndorf, which belonged to the House of Austria. The founding fathers were probably the nobles of Alpfen, who were already mentioned in documents of the 13th century.
In 1420, Bishop Otto von Konstanz was the fief holder, which ultimately passed to the Barons of Zweyer, after many changes. When the first church was constructed is not known, however parish friends had been recognized in 1225.
From 1662 to 1664 the current church was erected. It was enlarged between 1903 and 1906. The crucifixion picture on the right side is attributed to Hans Baldung Grien. The altars and pulpit were created by the Unteralpfen artists, Fidel and Leopold Mutter. The organ builder, Konrad Albien originated in Unteralpfen, as well as the well-known town historian, Monsignor Jacob Ebner.
Since 1945 the community has built a new school and new sewer lines.

Urberg

Geography:
Urberg is located in the northern part of the District of Dachberg, ten kilometers form the city of Ibach. There are 302 inhabitants in this village.

History:
This locality, previously lying within the holdings of St. Blasien Cloister was originally mentioned in 1237 as "Urbec". In 1253 and 1279, Heinrich and Erwin von Bildstein were named as nobles. Their castle, which was on Bildstein Rock, no longer exist. The barons von Bildstein, also had property and rights in Urberg, which they bequested to the St. Blasien Cloister in the 13th century.
The Urberg Parish, already named in 1241, was provided for from the Cloister. The present church, built in Weinbrenner style, was consecrated in 1817. It has a valuable reniassance alter from the St. Blasien Foundation. The following villages, part of the municipality of Wittenschwand, are under the Uberg parish jurisdiction: Horbach, Arnoldsloch and Laithe.
The mining of silver containing galena in Urberg was already accounted for in 1328. and continued until the 19th century. For the last thirty years in the "Gottesehre Pit" barite and flouite have been extracted.

Wellendingen

Geography:
Located in the valley of the Merenbach river, Wellendingen is part of the District of Bonndorf. It was incorporated into Bonndorf in January 1972. There are 440 residents in Wellendingen.

History:
Discoveries in Alamannen graves suggest a very early established settlement. However, documentary mention of Wellendingen cannot be found until the 14th century. The settlement at that time was in possession of the von Roggenbach family.
In 1622, Abbott Franz I sponsored the construction of a sanatorium for the treatment of leprosy. After the construction of a hospital in Bonndorf in 1780, the sanatorium of Wellendingen was closed.
The Nikolaus Church, now 100 years old, is the third church in the village. It is known that the existing Paulinen Monastery had a Nikolaus chapel built in 1370. Since 1450, the church in Wellendingen was a pilgrimage destination dedicated to the Fourteen Catholic Saints. It is also a subsidary branch of the Bonndorf vicarage.
In an enterprising and active way the responsibilities toward the community have been fulfilled with a new school house in 1950, a communal cold freeze plant, a slaughter house, a central water processing plant and a cemetery chapel.

Wittlekofen

Geography:
Located in the Steina valley, Wittlekofen is in the most southern part of the district of Bonndorf. The population of this village in the early 1800's was only 108 inhabitants. Today there are 200 residents in Wittlekofen.

History:
In the Middle Ages, Wittlekofen was located in the border land of the sovereigns of Roggenbach and, after it went through various hands, belonged to the monastery of Allerheiligen-Schaffhausen. The castles Grüningen & Weissenburg (also called “Roggenbachschlösser”) were damaged in the “Bauernkrieg”, while this is also assumed for castle Steinegg, sometimes confused with the “Roggenbachschlösser” (a double castle with two towers Grüningen & Weissenburg), the ruin of castle Steinegg is located about 400m further up the valley.
The Bauerkreig was a civil war of the peasants in central and southern Germany against the nobility and the clergy. The peasants aim was to abolish slavery and taxes given to the clergy. They also wanted to have their rights to fish and hunt restored.
After the war, Wittlekofen belonged to the Earl of Lupfen and in 1629 was under the jurisdiction of the monastery of St. Blasien. As an independent community, before becoming part of Waldshut in the 1800's, the following was obtained: a central water supply for the village, a slaughter house and extensive road construction.

Wolpadingen

Geography:
The town of Wolpadingen is located in the valley of the Alb river, fifteen kilometers south of Ibach. Until January 1, 1971 the hamlets of Finsterlingen (in 1288 known as Vensterlo), Froehnd ( in 1295 known as Vroende) and Hierholz (in 1295 know as Huenholz), belonged to Wolpadingen. At the same time in 1971. Wolpadingen became part of the newly formed District of Dachberg.

History:
In the 13th century St. Blasien had the land and lower court jurisdiction over Wolpadingen. The magistrate's authority submitted to Austria.
During the Middle Ages the manors of these settlements belonged to various parishes. Since 1667, the weather bell at Hierholz still bears this date, the communities of the Dachberg district presued the establishment of their own parishes. This was not completed until 1891.
