Spiegelberg is a municipality in the Rems-Murr district of Baden-Württemberg, Germany.

History

Spiegelberg's name comes from a glassworking manufactory built in the town in 1699 that produced mirrors from 1705 to 1794.[3]

Geography

The municipality (Gemeinde) of Spiegelberg is located at the northern edge of the Rems-Murr district of Baden-Württemberg, along its border with the district of Heilbronn. Spiegelberg is situated in the valley of the Lauter and within the Swabian-Franconian Forest. Elevation above sea level in the municipal area ranges from a high of 566 meters (1,857 ft) Normalnull (NN) to a low of 291 meters (955 ft) NN.[3]

The industrial district of Roßstaig and the abandoned villages of Glashausen and Lassweiler are also located in the municipal area.[3]
