Achern, Urban municipality in Baden-Württemberg, Germany.
Achern extends across 65 square kilometers at the entrance of Acher Valley, near the northern Black Forest with the Acher river flowing through.
The settlement, first documented as Acchara in 1095, underwent territorial changes until joining the Grand Duchy of Baden in 1805.
The Illenau Theater and Sensen-Heimat-Stadtmuseum present local performances and exhibits about regional traditions and craftsmanship to visitors throughout the year.
The central railway station connects to the Karlsruhe-Basel route while the Autobahn A5 provides direct access to major cities in the region.
The Leopold Monument stands at Adlerplatz, marking the geographical center point of Baden, with the Nikolauskapelle tower rising as the town symbol.
