History

The Abbey of St. Peter in the Black Forest was founded in 1093 by the Duke of Zähringen, Berthold II as his house abbey and family burial site. The municipality developed gradually over time around the abbey.

When the estates of the Church were seized and sold or transferred during Napoleon's conquest of Europe, the village of St. Peter was handed to the Grand Duchy of Baden in 1806 and, since 1952, they have been part of the state of Baden-Württemberg.

In 1899, fire broke out in the village centre of St. Peter,[3] whereupon 23 houses were destroyed and 150 people made homeless.[4]

At the end of the Second World War there was a Reich training centre of the Hitler Youth in St. Peter.[5]
