Haslach is a member of the "Deutsche Fachwerkstraße", an association of German cities with examples of the traditional vernacular timber-framed houses.[5]


History


The first documentary mention as "Haselahe" dates from 1240.[6]

Haslach earliest proven settlements date back to Roman times. Roman Age finds (pottery shards, stone altar, Roman grave relief) indicate the presence of a settlement here at the time of the construction of a military road through the Kinzig valley (about 74 A.D.). Archaeological finds indicate a Roman road station.

Haslach experienced its first heyday in the 13th century when the town, seat of the mountain judge, became the center of an important silver mining area. From the 17th century, Haslach continued to develop as a market town. Its market streets and squares, which were wide for the time, have been completely preserved to this day and, together with the narrow residential and craft alleys, give the picturesque old town, which consists almost exclusively of baroque half-timbered houses, a unique flair.[5]

After the decline of silver mining in the 16th century, Haslach developed further as an official and market town. In the War of Spanish Succession, it was completely burned down in 1704. Oriented at the medieval town plan, the city then emerged relatively modern timber-framed buildings in southern German baroque style.

During the last months of World War II (September 1944–April 1945), Haslach had three sub-camps of the concentration camp Natzweiler-Struthof at the volcano near the city. Reason for the establishment of the camp was the relocation of production of several arms factories in the bombproof tunnels of the mine Hartsteinwerke volcano. The Vulkan Memorial in Haslach commemorates the 1,700 prisoners from 21 countries who were forced to do labour work.[7] More than 223 inmates known by name lost their lives in Haslach. Others were secretly buried in the vicinity of the camp.[8]

On September 15, 1978, the old town of Haslach was placed under a preservation order by the Freiburg Regional Council. This ordinance serves to preserve the appearance of the old town of Haslach, which is still characterised by its medieval floor plan, within its historical limits.[9]

The Hansjakob museum (Freihof)

Heinrich Hansjakob (1837–1916) was a pastor in Hagnau (Lake Constance), where he founded the first Baden winegrowers' cooperative. As a member of the Baden state parliament in Karlsruhe, he was an active politician for 10 years, but he was best known as a writer. Hansjakob has published more than 70 books. He offers an excellent insight into his literary work as an observer of the farmers, craftsmen, citizens and traders of the Baden Black Forest in the 19th century, but also into his work as a historian, publicist, politician and writer. His manuscripts and letters are kept in the Hansjakob archive.[11]
