Gaggenau: Gemeindehaus St. Josef
Gaggenau is best known within Baden-Württemberg for its historic automotive works, among the world’s oldest vehicle-production sites. Gemeindehaus St. Josef belongs to the Catholic parish of St. Josef in the town centre, where the built-up Murg valley meets the wooded slopes of the northern Black Forest. The Murg flows through Gaggenau northwards towards the Rhine, while the surrounding hills give the town a compact setting. Industry has shaped local life since the 19th century: the Gaggenau works developed from an ironworks and became an important centre of German vehicle manufacturing. Today, parish life, residential districts and industry share the Murgtal.
