Ettenheim, Medieval urban center in Ortenau, Germany

Ettenheim stretches between the Rhine Plain and Black Forest, featuring narrow streets lined with traditional buildings at 193 meters above sea level.

The town traces its origins to the 8th century when Bishop Eddo of Strasbourg established a settlement, later receiving town rights in the 13th century.

The local weekly market brings residents together at the central square, where vendors sell regional products and seasonal specialties from Baden-Württemberg.

Visitors can access Ettenheim via the Mannheim-Basel railway line or through the nearby A5 motorway, connecting to major cities in Germany and France.

The municipal outdoor swimming pool includes Mediterranean design elements, complementing the warm regional climate of the Upper Rhine Valley.
