The Gemeinde Birkenfeld in the Enzkreis presents itself as a modern and future-oriented municipality with a special focus on sustainable infrastructure and environmentally friendly energy supply. As a lovable municipality in the immediate vicinity of the major city of Pforzheim, Birkenfeld combines rural idyll with economic dynamism and technological progress.

Birkenfeld sees itself not only as a supplier, but also as an innovation driver in the expansion of renewable energies. The commitment of the municipal utilities in this area strengthens the local economy, secures jobs and promotes the quality of life through a stable, green energy supply.
The community and the well-being of the citizens are at the center of the action. As independent, entrepreneurial units within the municipality, the own operations are flexible, efficient and closely linked to the needs of the population.
In addition, Birkenfeld benefits from its historical roots and the scenic location in the Enztal, which offer an attractive quality of life. With the combination of tradition, modern infrastructure and ambitious vision for the future, Birkenfeld positions itself as a sustainable and livable municipality in the heart of the Enzkreis.
