Welcome to Gengebach, one of the most beautiful towns in Germany and well known for its chocolates. In fact it could be compared to a chocolate-box straight out of a fairytale. The city boasts a picturesque, traditional, medieval town centre, which in winter turns into the world's largest advent calendar house with its 24 windows. No wonder Tim Burton, in the remake of the movie “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory”, chose it as the hometown of the gluttonous German boy named Augustus Gloop.
Highlights
Gengenbach was founded in the 13th century
An Imperial Free City from 1360
Treaty of Lunéville
Franco-Dutch War
Nine Years War
Admire the fountain at Marktplatz with a statue of a knight, a symbol of Gengenbach’s medieval status as a Free Imperial City. The best way to know more about Gengenbach’s history is to explore around its narrow back streets, lined with listed half-timbered and shuttered houses framed by vineyards and orchards.
