Here in the Christophstal valley on the Forbach River, a mint for silver coins and medals was located from 1622 to 1628. After several other uses, the building complex was used as a file-making workshop, which continued until 2010.

Since 2017, the former file-making workshop has been owned by the city of Freudenstadt.

When you think of coin minting today, large cities like Frankfurt am Main come to mind. It's very interesting that coins were also minted here in the 16th century.
