Kippenheim

[3] Kippenheim is located on the foothills of the Black Forest in the Upper Rhine Plain about 7 km south of Lahr.

The power of the Celtic tribes was broken by the Germans advancing from the North Sea region and the Roman attacks from the south.

The present church itself, i.e. the choir and foundations of the nave, which was destroyed by fire in the early 18th century and rebuilt, date from around 1500.

During the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648), the town of Kippenheim suffered primarily from the countless passages of Imperial and Protestant troops.

Once again there was unrest in the country, namely at the time of the revolutionary years 1848/49, which also heated up the minds of the people of Kippenheim, but had no significant impact on life in the village.

In 1946, in gratitude for the fact that Kippenheim was protected from severe war damage, the chapel "Maria Frieden" was built on the Hohbühl, in the middle of the wine-growing region.
