Offenburg

Among the cities of Baden-Württemberg, Offenburg stands out for its role in Baden’s democratic movement. Set on the eastern edge of the Upper Rhine Plain, with the Black Forest rising nearby, it is the administrative centre of the Ortenau district and a long-established rail junction between the Rhine corridor and the interior. In 1847, the Salmen inn hosted a meeting that formulated demands for civil rights and helped set the course for the Baden Revolution of 1848–49. Vineyards on the surrounding foothills also place the city within one of Germany’s notable wine-growing areas.
