St. Georgen im Schwarzwald

St. Georgen im Schwarzwald lies in the upper Brigach valley, where wooded Black Forest hills and open upland clearings shape the town’s setting. The Brigach is one of the two headstreams that join the Breg to form the Danube, placing this highland community within a watershed of continental scale. St. Georgen developed as a centre of clockmaking and precision engineering; this industrial past is explored at the German Phono Museum, dedicated to the history of recorded sound and playback technology. The town also stands on the Black Forest Railway, a historic route through one of southern Germany’s defining mountain regions.
