Rheinfelden (Baden): Rhine Border Town, Swiss Twin City, and the Aluminium Industry Legacy on the Hochrhein
Rheinfelden has a population around 32,500 and sits on the Rhine in Baden-Wuerttemberg, directly opposite the Swiss town of Rheinfelden (Aargau). The two Rheinfeldens share a bridge and a long intertwined history. German Rheinfelden developed around aluminium smelting, powered by a Rhine hydroelectric plant built in 1898, one of Europe's first large-scale hydropower installations.
The Hochrhein landscape stretches east toward Bad Saeckingen and west toward Basel, about 20 kilometres away. Loerrach is roughly 15 kilometres west. The Dinkelberg plateau rises behind the town. Freiburg is about 65 kilometres north. Swiss shops and restaurants are a short walk across the bridge. Adult companionship follows Baden-Wuerttemberg's regulatory framework.
