Müllheim

Müllheim is a former administrative district in Baden-Württemberg located in southwestern Germany between Freiburg and Basel. It encompassed several municipalities and farming areas spread across rolling terrain known for vineyards and wine production.

The district was established in 1938 and functioned as an administrative unit until a major territorial reform in Baden-Württemberg reshaped the region decades later. This reorganization fundamentally altered how the area was governed and administered.

The area has deep roots in wine production, which continues to shape the landscape and the daily life of people living here. You can see this connection everywhere, from vineyards to traditional wine-making facilities that define the region.

The area is best explored by traveling through the villages and wine regions scattered across the terrain. The best time to visit is during harvest season or summer, when the landscape is most vibrant and many wineries are open to visitors.

The territory was historically a vital part of the Markgräflerland region, a wine-growing area with one of the highest concentrations of vineyards in Germany. Many of these small producers remain family-owned and create wines recognized far beyond the local area.
