Stühlingen is a climatic resort that lies on the Wutach on the southern edge of the Black Forest at an altitude between 449 and 601 metres, directly on the Swiss border near the community of Schleitheim.

The separate communities of Bettmaringen, Blumegg, Eberfingen, Grimmelshofen, Lausheim, Mauchen, Oberwangen, Schwaningen, Unterwangen and Weizen belong to Stühlingen together with 32 further small villages.

The year 1262 was significant in that the Count of Lupfen enclosed an oval area on a mountain spur above the Wutach valley.

It is documented, that the South Baden ring leader Hans Müller von Bulgenbach originated from a hamlet in the vicinity.

From 1615 to 1743 a Jewish community was established in Stühlingen, made up of five main families, the Weils, the Blochs, the Bernheims, the Bickerts and the Guggenheims, from which by 1743 the majority of the households in the County of Stühlingen that became Jewish families came expelled for not renewing the letters of protection, which allowed Jews to live in a certain place for a certain time, for a fee, and were expelled when those letters of protection expired.

In July the ground breaking ceremony for the Centenary Lower Town Project took place, for this the community had obtained credit in millions.
