background

Wildbad was an important bathing resort as early as the 15th century, but at that time only for higher-ranking guests. Counts, dukes and the Württemberg kings were also included. The suburb of Calmbach is known as a five-valley town and has a rich history in connection with the timber trade and rafting. The so-called mountain towns of Aichelberg, Hünerberg, Meistern and Rehmühle have a history related to agriculture and forestry. Part-time farms and forest farms can still be found in the mountain villages today. Historically, the Bad Wildbad mountain towns of Aichelberg, Hünerberg, Meistern and Rehmühle belonged to the Neuweiler district until 1850. From 1850 onwards, due to their own initiative and their geographical location, they became an independent municipality of Bergorte. Only later was the name changed to the municipality of Aichelberg. The tourist moto of Bad Wildbad is "royally wild". This fits very well with the mother town Wildbad, as well as with the mountain resorts, as royal celebrities once stayed in Wildbad for the cure. In addition, there was a hunting lodge in today's Neuweiler district of Hofstett, from there the royal crown prince also went hunting in the mountain villages and had a king's room in the Rehmühle in which he could spend the night on his hunting trips.

In the course of the administrative reform in 1974, the towns of Calmbach, Sprollenhaus and Aichelberg (mountain towns - Aichelberg, Hünerberg, Meistern, Kälbermühle and Rehmühle) were incorporated, as was part of the town of Nonnenmiß, the other part of Enzklösterle.

Neighboring communities are Chub, Neuenbürg, Yards, Schömberg, Oberreichenbach, Neuweiler, Simmersfeld, Enzklösterle and Gernsbach.
