Staufen im Breisgau, Medieval town in Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald, Germany.
This Baden-Württemberg municipality sits at the foot of the Black Forest, near the exit from Münstertal valley to the Rhine plain.
The settlement dates back to Roman times and later gained prominence during the Hohenstaufen dynasty, with a castle built on its hilltop.
The town maintains connections to the legend of Faust, who reportedly spent his final days in Staufen around the year 1540.
The central pedestrian area contains multiple restaurants, shops, and accommodations within walking distance of the historic town hall.
Since 2008, geothermal drilling has caused the town center to rise 12 centimeters, affecting numerous buildings and structures.
