Hornberg, Urban municipality in Ortenau, Germany.

Hornberg extends across 54 square kilometers within the Black Forest region, featuring residential areas at an elevation of 384 meters above sea level.

The medieval control of Hornberg changed when knight Reinold of Urslingen obtained ownership rights to both the castle and city during the 14th century.

The municipality maintains strong international relations through its partnership with the French town of Bischwiller, fostering regular cultural exchanges between communities.

The Black Forest Railway connects Hornberg to major cities, with regular train services operating between Offenburg and Villingen-Schwenningen through the local station.

The Duravit Design Center houses a viewing platform shaped like a toilet bowl, representing an architectural collaboration with designer Philippe Starck.
