Grießen is a district of the municipality of Klettgau, which is located in the southeast of the district of Waldshut in southern Germany and borders directly on Switzerland.
With almost 1,900 inhabitants Grießen is the second largest district of the municipality of Klettgau. In Grießen, there is a market tradition dating back to the 16th century The central geographical location has always been a determining factor for this. Even today, the village, whose historic center was extensively renovated in 1990 and 1991, becomes the center of colorful market activity five times a year.
The local gastronomy offers culinary delicacies all year round and also attracts many a guest from afar to pay the village a visit. Grießen is well connected to the public transport system by bus and train. Thus, all higher authorities, the secondary schools and specialists in the area can be reached just as easily as the nearby Switzerland.
The new development area „Maueräcker“ creates a spacious and family-friendly residential area. The counterpart to this is the „Kies“ commercial area. With its proximity to the railroad line and the B34, it offers optimal conditions for new company settlements.
Furthermore, the village has a day care center for the elderly. Here, senior citizens have the opportunity to remain in their place of residence during the day, even in the case of nursing care and despite the work of their relatives.
Adjacent to the area of the nursing home, a clubhouse is available to the local associations. The building, in which young and old alike spend their leisure time, blends harmoniously into the center of Griessen.
