Waldkirch, Organ manufacturing town in Baden-Württemberg, Germany.
Located at an elevation of 274 meters, Waldkirch extends along the Elz River at the foot of Kandel mountain, which reaches 1241 meters.
The establishment of Saint Margaret convent around 918 marked the beginning of Waldkirch, leading to its development under Schwarzenbergs control in the 13th century.
The Elztalmuseum displays the evolution of organ manufacturing, featuring instruments from renowned manufacturers like Carl Frei, Andreas Ruth and Son, and Wilhelm Bruder.
Major employers include SICK AG producing optical sensors, Faller AG specializing in pharmaceutical packaging, and Mack Rides manufacturing amusement park equipment.
For over two centuries, Waldkirch has maintained its position as a center for crafting barrel organs, church organs, street organs, and mechanical instruments.
