Kandern is a small town in Markgräflerland and lies in the middle valley of the Kander.
background
The Kandertal was already settled in the time of the Celts and the Romans, they used the ore deposits for iron extraction and made ceramics from the mighty clay deposits. Kandern was first mentioned in a document in 776. In 1503 Kandern came into the possession of the Margraves of Baden. Kandern received city rights in 1810.
In 1895 the Kandertal Railway went into operation, it ran from Kandern on a 13 km route to Haltingen to the Rhine Valley Railway. The line has been closed since 1983, but the museum railways run on weekends during the summer months Kandertal Railway and awaken that Chanderli to live.
As part of a community reform in 1974, the formerly independent villages of Feuerbach, Holzen, Riedlingen, Sitzenkirch, Tannenkirch and Wollbach were incorporated.
