Buggingen is a place in the German Bundesland Baden-Württemberg located between the Rhine Valley and the Black Forest on the northern edge of Markgräflerland.
It is home to many vineyards and is a largely agricultural center. It also is home to Germany's largest tech mail order company. Buggingen administratively also includes Seefelden and Betberg.
The village was first referred to in 778. It was mentioned in the "Urkundebuch" of the monastery of Lorsch as "Buchinger marca". In 940 the village shifted to the control of the Bishop of Constance.
As far as can be ascertained, Buggingen has been associated with vineyards throughout its history.
As a number of documents confirm, the majority of the property was in the hands of the church. Property owners were the monastaries in Lorsch, St. Blasien, Tennenbach, St. Peter, St. Trudpert, Sulzburg, Kappel, Neuenburg, Adelhausen, Sitzenkirch und Sölden.
In 1934 86 people were killed in an accident at a salt mine near Buggingen. The site of the mine, which was opened in 1904 and closed in 1973, is now a museum.de:Buggingen
