Welcome to Gengebach, one of the most beautiful towns in Germany and well known for its chocolates. The city boasts a picturesque, traditional, medieval town centre, which in winter turns into the world's largest advent calendar house with its 24 windows. Admire the fountain at Marktplatz with a statue of a knight, a symbol of Gengenbach’s medieval status as a Free Imperial City. The best way to know more about Gengenbach’s history is to explore around its narrow back streets, lined with listed half-timbered and shuttered houses framed by vineyards and orchards.
