Durlach's only remaining city gate tower is still considered one of the landmarks of the former residence of the Margraves of Baden-Durlach. Likely built in the 14th century, the tower once secured the southern entrance to the city and, like the three other former gates, was integrated into the city wall. In front of the gate was the outer bailey, the outer bailey wall, and the city moat with a drawbridge. A section of this wall and moat system has been preserved at the Basel Gate. The building with red shutters in front of the tower is the guardhouse, renovated in 1751, where the gatekeeper originally collected customs and tolls for goods imported into the city. The two sandstone pillars, crowned with spheres, mark the site of the former outer gate. On August 16, 1689, Durlach was almost completely burned down by French troops as a consequence of the War of the Palatine Succession. The Basel Gate also lost its roof in the fire. At the behest of the Margrave, it was rebuilt as a prison tower with the still-existing, solid vaults, the massive oak cell doors, and the external stair tower. The reconstruction, including the new roof truss in the form of a Welsche Haube (a type of onion dome), was finally completed in 1761.

Delicious ice cream 🍨 always worth a break ☺️👍

OK for a spontaneous evening tour. It was definitely fun.

View of the Pfinz from the bridge on Bahnhofstrasse.

The cross hiking trail begins and ends in Wöschbach and circles the present-day district of the municipality of Pfinztal to the southeast. It leads hikers past various types of street, devotional, path and field crosses, including the Löchlewald cross.

Great half-timbered house! Always nice to see such old buildings in good condition and to see that our ancestors built with substance.

You can still admire an old mill wheel on the narrow course of the Walzbach. Originally, there were three mills in the upper village, all of which were mentioned in the 15th century.

The bridge was built by Margrave Ludwig in 1706 at the request of Margravine Augusta. Until 1875, all traffic to the Pfinztal went over the STAIG. As the Allies approached in April 1945, it was to be blown up, like other bridges. It was only saved through the successful intervention of pastor Herbert Fuchs and teacher Wilhelm Mössinger.
