Totentanz Chapel Bleibach

Highlight • Religious Site

The dance of death in Bleibach in the Elztal (Gutach-Bleibach municipality) is a mural and unique in the southern Baden region because it has been completely preserved to this day and because the original accompanying verses can still be read about the individual scenes.
... The only possible artist is the Waldkirch painter Johann Jakob Winter (1663–1746).
The Bleibach dance of death with a group of musical skeletons and 33 dance couples was created in 1723 in the formerly free-standing charnel house chapel next to the parish church of St. Georg in Bleibach.

Fools' Fountain Waldkirch

Highlight • Monument

In the inner courtyard of the town hall of Waldkirch there is a fool's fountain, which shows all the fool figures of the Waldkirch carnival. The handsome fountain was built by the Waldkirch sculptor Hubert Bernhard in 1986. The figures are cast in bronze and show Büttel, Kläpperlebub, shirtglunker and the old maid. In the well lies the Bajass, which a candelabrum dips deeper into the water with her broom.

Gewerbekanal Waldkirch

Highlight • Structure

The trade canal, which was built around 1250, is 3.7 kilometers long and is the longest monument in Waldkirch. It supplied up to 35 mills with water power, including 30 gemstone cutters. It was used at times for waste disposal and for watering meadows. Numerous textile factories opened after 1860. Until around 1900 the canal was the economic lifeline of the city.
