Hornberg, Urban municipality in Ortenau, Germany.
Hornberg is an urban municipality in the Ortenau district situated within the Black Forest landscape. The town comprises residential neighborhoods and commercial areas distributed across different elevations in the region.
The castle and settlement of Hornberg came under the control of knight Reinold of Urslingen during the 14th century. This transition shaped the political structure of the area for subsequent centuries.
The town maintains a sister relationship with the French commune of Bischwiller, creating regular opportunities for residents and visitors to experience cross-border connections. This bond reflects the region's position as a bridge between cultures.
The Black Forest Railway connects the town to larger cities with regular train services operating through the local station. This rail link makes it straightforward to reach neighboring regions and major urban centers.
The Duravit Design Center features an unusual viewing platform shaped like a toilet bowl, created through a collaboration with designer Philippe Starck. This striking structure appeals to visitors interested in unconventional architectural design.
