Bühl, Administrative town in Rastatt district, Germany.

Description

Bühl is a town in the Rastatt district situated between the Rhine Valley and the Black Forest, encompassing multiple villages across its territory. The settlement spreads across an elevation of about 138 meters and combines urban centers with rural village structures.

History

The name comes from Old German 'puhil' meaning hill, which appears in the city's coat of arms showing three yellow hills on a blue background. This naming reflects the natural landscape and has been part of the town's identity for centuries.

Culture

Eleven villages such as Altschweier, Balzhofen, and Eisental shape the character of this place, each preserving its own local customs and way of life. Walking through these communities reveals different architectural styles and craft traditions that reflect how people in the region have lived for generations.

Practical

The town lies about 10 kilometers south of Baden-Baden and serves as an important hub for automotive suppliers and regional administration. Visitors will find well-organized facilities and good connections to larger cities in the region.

Did you know?

The surrounding area was historically known for producing plums in large quantities, a tradition visible in the extensive fruit orchards scattered through the rural landscape. This agricultural heritage remains evident in the countryside today.
