Binzen (in Alemannic dialect: Binze) is a municipality in the southwestern German Federal State of Baden-Württemberg, part of the district Lörrach.

Binzen is situated in the Three-Country Corner of Germany, Switzerland, and France, on the southwestern foothills of the Black Forest at the exit of the Kandertal valley in the greater Basel-Weil-Lörrach area.

The municipality borders to the north on an exclave of Efringen-Kirchen, as well as on Fischingen and Schallbach; to the east on Rümmingen; to the southeast on the district town of Lörrach; to the south on the city of Weil am Rhein; and to the west on Eimeldingen.

[4][5] The village was confiscated as an Alamannic lordship by the Franks and came into the possession of the Frankish royal monastery of St. Denis around 1200 years ago.

At the beginning of the 16th century, the majority of Binzen came into the possession of the Margraviate of Baden-Durlach, but it was not until 1769 that the entire village became part of Baden.

Binzen belonged ecclesiastically to the Diocese of Constance, although the Bishop of Basel was a significant landowner and feudal lord.

Although nothing is known about the early construction history of the current Evangelical Church Binzen, it is assumed that it was a massive stone-built house of worship.

The most significant and visible change occurred from 1822 to 1824 when the old church - except for the tower - was demolished and rebuilt according to the plans of the Baden architect Friedrich Weinbrenner.

The main grape varieties cultivated are Gutedel and Pinot Noir, alongside Müller-Thurgau, Nobling, and Chardonnay.

Binzen is located directly on the High Rhine motorway A98 (E54) (exit 4, "Kandern") from Weil am Rhein to Stockach.
