The tornado over Pforzheim occurred on the evening of July 10, 1968. It had a strength of F4 on the Fujita scale. On a stretch of about 130 kilometers from the Saar valley in Lorraine to the Enzkreis in Baden-Württemberg, a tornado first formed in France and later the second in Germany. This damaged about 1,750 houses and several hundred vehicles in Pforzheim, the largest city affected. Two people died and 200 were injured. The material damage amounted to over 100 million DM.
