The Steigmühle is a family-run business that processes regionally grown grain into high-quality flour. They place great value on traditional craftsmanship and the careful milling of the grain. They sell their products mainly through their mill shop and also supply local bakeries, local retailers and regional restaurants. The mill has been certified organic since 2014. They are also involved in the regional HegauKorn project, which focuses on processing organic grain from the region.

Krenkinger Castle

Highlight • Castle

The first written mention can be found in a Hewener land register from the 15th century, which speaks of a "Krenkingen Castle located on Engen". A predecessor building from the High Middle Ages may have stood at this point. Little is known about the early owners of the castle and a possible connection to the Lords of Krenkingen, who lived in Klettgau. Around 1494, Engen and with it the castle fell to Heinrich V von Lupfen. Heraldic stones are evidence of extensive renovations between 1536 and 1555, including the creation of the stair tower and the addition of heights to the south wing. During the Thirty Years War, the castle was set on fire by Swedish and Hohentwiel soldiers in 1640, after which the north wing was rebuilt slightly lower. On May 3, 1800, French troops looted and devastated the castle, which at that time was probably already in decline. From 1814 there were plans to set up office rooms and prison cells in the castle. In the 1820s the castle was the official residence of the prince-Fürstenberg superintendent Carl Friedrich Eckhard, father of the later entrepreneur and politician Carl Eckhard, who was born in the castle in 1822. After it was sold by the von Fürstenbergs in 1829, the castle was used by an innkeeper as a warehouse and summer inn. In 1891 it was acquired by the Baden state, which set up grand ducal offices here over the next two years. In more recent years, the building housed the police station and a notary's office; after extensive renovation in 2001, the forestry office is located here.

Engen Market Square

Highlight • Historical Site

The historic old town is considered one of the best preserved medieval urban ensembles in southern Germany. The old town has a medieval flair. Particularly worth seeing is the market square, the town church, the narrow, winding streets, the modern fountain sculptures and the municipal museum.
