Vogtsburg im Kaiserstuhl (Low Alemannic: Vogtsburg im Kaiserstuehl), often referred to as simply Vogtsburg (German pronunciation: [ˈfoːkt͡sˌbʊʁk] ), is a town in the Kaiserstuhl, a volcanic region in the district Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald, Baden-Württemberg. It has a population of about 5,700 and was created on January 1, 1975 through the unification of six former municipalities, initially under the name Oberrotweil, and was renamed to Vogtsburg im Kaiserstuhl in April 1977. With its 5.4 square miles (14 km2) of vineyards, Vogtsburg is the biggest wine producing town in Germany.
