History
The town of Blumberg is in the region where the source of the Danube is situated, the glacial valley between Eichberg and Buchberg. The town's official origins date from the 13th century, with the Masters of Blumberg first mentioned in 1260. However, one of the oldest settlements, the Steppacher Hof, was already documented in the 12th century, and the town itself is believed to have originated long before that time, as archaeological finds have shown the area was inhabited during the Stone Age.
The Wutach is a 90-kilometer (56 mi) tributary of the Rhine that changes name twice as it passes through the southern Black Forest. Blumberg was established in the Wutach valley near the Wutach Gorge.
Built above the town in the Middle Ages, Blumberg Castle contributed significantly to the development of the surrounding settlements, and while ruled by the princely Fuerstenberg family, who owned a brewery from 1283 until 2004. Blumberg was elevated from a town (Städtle) to a city in 1559.
During the Thirty Years' War from 1618 to 1648, the castle was destroyed. Thanks to its Doggererz iron ore reserves, the town experienced a short-lived expansion after the war's end.
