Kuhbach, Lahr — Area Guide & Where to Stay

What are the main landmarks in Kuhbach?

Two churches, and little else. St. Gallus gives Kuhbach its principal address, a parish building that sits among the surrounding streets and hands the district a centre it would otherwise lack. Mariä Heimsuchung carries the second dedication.

Between them they account for most of what a visitor would stop for in Kuhbach, and the small compass of the district keeps both inside the same short run of housing.

What is the history of Kuhbach?

Lahr's records give Kuhbach no starting date. Kuhbach carries no founding charter or chronicle of its own, and its past has to be read from two church dedications and from the way the name serves as an address inside Lahr rather than as a place standing separately. St. Gallus is one dedication, Mariä Heimsuchung the other.

Together they are the closest thing to a documented past that Kuhbach puts in front of a visitor, and the parish names outlast whatever the settlement was before it became part of Lahr.

Where is Kuhbach?

Kuhbach lies on the eastern edge of Lahr, a small Baden-Württemberg district whose housing gathers between the plots of St. Gallus and Mariä Heimsuchung.
