Portrait Englisch: Gemeinde Aspach

Aspach was created in 1972 by the merger of the previously independent communities of Allmersbach am Weinberg, Großaspach, Kleinaspach and Rietenau. However each part continues to maintain its identity. Allmersbach am Weinberg is scenically located and continues its very old wine tradition, noticeable nearly everywhere, as evidenced by an ancient wine press from the 16 th century. The administrative center for all of Aspachs parts is in Großaspach. The new Town Hall, first opened in 1989, fits in appropriately with the historic village character. Together with its small plaza, it forms the towns center. The nearby bell tower of the Juliana Kirche (Church) stands out identifying Großaspach from far off. Kleinaspach lies at the foothills of the Löwenstein mountains, and like Allmersbach, also has been influenced by its wine producing past. Especially noteworthy is its historically significant wine press from the 16 th century. Rietenau with splendid timbered framework houses in its jumbled center, is famous for its mineral water springs, which have been in use since the early Middle Ages.
