Offenburg

Offenburg is a city in the Black Forest in the German state of Baden-Württemberg. It serves as a historic crossroads where the Rhine Valley meets the Kinzig Valley, earning it the nickname "Gate to the Black Forest." The town is characterized by its Baroque architecture, a lively market culture, and its deep connection to the 1848 German Revolution, which started in the local Salmen inn. Wikivoyage
