The history of Malsch (Excerpts from the community page):
Between the cities of Karlsruhe and Rastatt, in the foothills of the mountains, lies the village of Malsch, whose name is most likely of Celtic origin. At the time of the first documentary mention in 1065, the municipality was owned by the Benedictine monastery of Weissenburg in Alsace.cIn the course of its history, the municipality has repeatedly been deeply wounded by years of war, famine and plague. In particular, the great Croatian fire in 1623 caused the already impressive population of 1,400 to shrink to 300.
The strong will to survive quickly led to a noticeable upswing among the inhabitants, most of whom worked in agriculture. Over time, the once purely farming village became a working-class residential community. Many things were created that can still be considered exemplary today. At the end of the Second World War, when the large influx of displaced persons also reached the municipality of Malsch, the main focus was on solving the housing shortage. In the following years, particular attention was paid to road construction and drainage of the local area.
The practice Tierarzt-Malsch.de - formerly Dr.med.vet, Anke Essig is located in the industrial area in Einsteinstr. 6, 76316 Malsch.
