Bernau im Schwarzwald

Bernau is a municipality in the district of Waldshut in Baden-Württemberg in Germany.

Bernau is located in a high valley in the southern Black Forest, south of the Feldberg and west of the Schluchsee. Bernau includes the valley Bernauer Alb, a source stream of the Alb, and extends from 800 meters above sea level up to 1415 meters high.

The municipality is bordered to the north by the municipality of Feldberg, in the east by Menzenschwand and the city of St. Blasien, in the south of Ibach, in the southwest of Todtmoos and on the west by the city of Todtnau in the district of Lörrach.

The annual rainfall is 1919 mm. The driest month is September; most precipitation falls in December. In the wettest month, rain falls about 1.9 times more than the driest month. The temperatures are quite cool with -2.5 °C in January and 13.9 °C in July, and in the morning lower temperatures than on the Feldberg in Bernau are usually measured. The place is one of the snowiest of the Black Forest. In the winter of 2006 the snow was almost two meters high. Again in the winter of 2020-2021 snow was abundant starting December 1 and continuing for many weeks well into March.

The colonization of today's municipal area began in late 11th century with deforestation and construction of courts by lay brothers of the monastery of St. Blasien. The first mention was made in 1157 at the inauguration of a chapel in the district court. With the secularization of the monastery St. Blasien 1806, the centuries-old monastery rule while the membership ended on Front Austria, the place came to the newly created Grand Duchy of Baden.

1922 built the church together with the wooden goods works Präg GmbH in Präg the E-Werk Wacht, which then supplied the wood works and all residents of the community with electric energy. 1934 four independent municipalities of Bernauer valley, Bernau-Innerlehen (with Riggenbach and Schwendele), Hof, Bernau-Dorf with Goldbach and Bernau-Except feudal united (with the Imperial House, Altenrond, Oberlehen, Gass, Unterlehen and Weierle) to the community Bernau. Since then the town was essentially unchanged, using the Baden-Württemberg territorial reform in the 1970s away. The renaming in Bernau im Schwarzwald was carried out on 1 January 1999. [4]
