Ihringen, municipality in Baden-Württemberg, Germany
Ihringen is a small municipality in Baden-Württemberg situated on the warmest part of the Kaiserstuhl volcanic ridge. The town has quiet streets lined with traditional houses with terracotta roofs, and the surrounding hills are covered with vineyards that have been cultivated for over a thousand years.
The settlement was already cultivating vineyards by the tenth century and has maintained this practice for over a thousand years. In the 1970s, the neighboring village of Wasenweiler merged with Ihringen, further connecting the community to its rural wine-making roots.
Wine growing defines how people here see themselves and their community. Throughout the town, you notice family vineyards marked on fences, grape baskets being moved through streets during harvest, and neighbors sharing their homemade wines during local celebrations.
The town is easily accessible by public transport and the KONUS guest card offers free train travel to explore the wider region. Walking trails and cycling routes are well marked and pass through vineyards and surrounding countryside without difficulty.
The volcanic soil of the Kaiserstuhl gives the local wine, particularly from the Winklerberg vineyard, a distinctive flavor found nowhere else. This geological feature makes wines from this place sought after by connoisseurs.
