Market Square Endingen am Kaiserstuhl

Very beautiful wine-growing village on the Kaiserstuhl. Especially in late summer and autumn it is beautiful here. The wine and fruit harvest is particularly recommended. The higher temperatures also contribute to well-being.

Beautiful old town with restaurants and shops surrounded by vineyards that are ideal for walking and cycling.

Endingen was first mentioned in a document in 862. For several centuries, it belonged to the Lords of Endingen, who had their seat at the nearby Koliburg Castle, until it passed to the Lords of Üsenberg, who granted Endingen town rights between 1285 and 1286. After the Üsenbergs died out in 1379, the Küchlins were enfeoffed with it in 1425. The town came into Habsburg possession and was assigned to Vorderösterreich, briefly enjoying the status of a free imperial city at the beginning of the 15th century.In 1751, one of the last witch trials in Europe took place in Endingen: on April 24, Anna Schnidenwind was burned at the stake. After the Peace of Pressburg in 1805, Endingen, along with the entire Breisgau region, which had previously been Vorderösterreich, became part of Baden.The citizens of Endingen are very tradition-conscious. Old customs have survived to this day. For centuries, on Christmas Eve, during the midnight chimes of the church bells in Endingen, running water has been drawn from the numerous fountains and drunk as "Heiliwog." The saying goes: "Heiliwog – God's gift, good luck in the house, bad luck out!"
