Muggensturm is direct an attractive, alive and rising municipality with approx. 6200 inhabitants in Baden-Wuerttemberg, between Karlsruhe and Rastatt, at the federal motorway

Muggensturm
Geography:
Located directly west of the city of Rastatt, Muggensturm is known as an industrial town. The population is a little more than 6,000 inhabitants and the town covers 11.55 square kilometers.

History:
A Celtic arm ring and three Roman bronze brooches, now located in the Baden State Museum in Karlsruhe, are evidence of settlements in the area during Roman times.
The first documented reference to Muggensturm is found in the year 1193. The present day spelling was registered by 1296. It is possible that Muggensturm was an extension of the town of Oetigheim, and an old Eberstein possession that was enlarged by the relocation of Eichelbach.
St. Margaret's Chapel, today the Muggensturm Cemetery Chapel, was the local church for the abandoned village of Eichelbach, which has completely vanished today. Muggensturm was the possession of the Counts of Eberstein and the Herrenalb Cloister. These holdings were later transferred and Heinrich von Eberstein ordered the removal of the inhabitants of Eichelbach to Muggensturm in 1298.
After 1353, Muggensturm is mentioned several times as a city. A previous fortress had fallen to ruin by the 15th century. In the 16th century there was no longer a city wall.
In the past years, Muggensturm has increased its amount of industry, trade and business thanks to the vigorous promotion by the city administrators. As a results, a substantial number of work places have been developed. A few years back a recreational park was built at the edge of the city, with a tennis hall, wildlife enclosure and fitness trails. The locality's image has significantly improved in the last decade. This has been made clear through the success in town beautification during that time.

Ötigheim
Geography:
Located north of the city of Rastatt, Otigheim covers an area of 10.97 square kilometers. A charming and favorite residential community with approximately 4,000 inhabitants.

History:
This small village was first in a official document in reference to a donation to the monastery of Weissberg as "Ottingham", in the year 788. The monastery of Herrenaub and the noble houses of Eberstein and Baden all owned property in Otigheim. The local nobility which took its name from the village died out shortly after 1374.
Otigheim is best known throughout Europe for its summer time theater. It has one of the largest and best open air stages in all of Germany. The villagers annually present "A Village on Stage", a slogan which established that there are no professionals, only amateurs on the stage, even though they rely on professional support as required.
The founder of the Otigheim plays was Josef Saier, who arrived in the community as a senior priest, in October 1905. His aim was to use the theater as an extension of his pulpit, to counter the perceived general shallowness in his parishioners by directing their thoughts to higher plains, while at the same time creating funds for charitable purposes.
The spectators area, in the shape of a semi-circle, is modified after an antique amphitheater. Initially it was without a roof with seats set in the lawn. Today, the audience area is fully protected with a seating capacity of 4,000 seats.
Annually, the "Town Threatre attracts over 80,000 visitors, carrying Otigheim's reputation beyond the borders of Germany.
