In 1938 Schramberg and Lauterbach were incorporated into the Rottweil district,[6] which changed from the Administrative Region of Tübingen to Freiburg in 1973.

There is, however, co-operation with Schramberg and the neighbouring municipalities of Hardt and Aichhalden in a number of administrative fields, e.g. land utilization and zoning.

There is also regional co-operation in the field of tourism with Schramberg and the neighbouring towns in the Kinzig and Gutach valleys (Schiltach, Hornberg, Wolfach).

The largest enterprise today is a plastic factory, which serves as a supplier to other German and European manufacturers.

Initiated by and named after the painter Wilhelm Kimmich (see notable persons), there is a gallery which offers exhibitions and concerts attracting visitors from far and near.
