lived here from the 4th century. The oldest evidence of an Alemannic settlement includes graves at the former Roman road station and in the burial ground "Unterer Stollen" with 204 burials. Judging by the rich burial gifts, it was occupied between 500 and 700 A.D. Krozingen was mentioned for the first time in documents in the books of the monastery of
St. Gallen as "Scrozzinga" in the year 808 A.D., probably named after the family of the Alemannic nobleman Crozzo. The town originated from the old center Oberkrozingen, Kems and Unterkrozingen as an Alemannic village at the junction of the Roman road Basel-Offenburg on the
Neumagen.
Krozingen was part of the Breisgau district of

Politics
Municipal Council
Following the local election on May 25, 2015, with a turnout of 48,09 % (+ 1,69) the seats in the municipal council of Bad Krozingen were distributed as follows:
Mayor
In November 2013, Volker Kieber, formerly the mayor of Gottenheim, was elected to succeed ''Ekkehart Meroth'' as mayor. Kieber was educated at the Theodor-Heuss-Gymnasium in Esslingen/N. After passing his A-level exams, he joined the German Airforce for basic military service, and was stationed in Leipheim, Fürstenfeldbruck und Memmingen. From 1983 to 1987, Kieber visited the
University for Applied Forest Sciences in Rottenburg/N. and graduated in 1987, receiving a graduate degree in engineering (''Diplom-Ingenieur (FH)''). Kieber received practical training in the Public Forestry Offices at Trippstadt, Karlsruhe, Welzheim and Gundelsheim/N. From 1988 to 1994, he worked as head of forestry administration in the districts of Waldenburg and Unterheimbach, for the Count of Hohenlohe-Waldenburg (''Fürstlichen Forstverwaltung des Fürsten zu Hohenlohe-Waldenburg''). In 1994, he changed his position to become the head of the forestry district of Mooswald for the city council of

. In 2004, Kieber was elected as mayor of the wine-growing municipality
Gottenheim am Tuniberg. In 2013, Kieber ran for mayor of Bad Krozingen and was elected by a large majority in the second round of voting. In 2014, Kieber was elected to serve in the district council (''

'') of the ''

Kieber also serves as a regional council, as well as being a member of the supervisory boards of the ''University Heart Center Freiburg-Bad Krozingen'', the hospitals Theresienklinik I and Theresienklinik II, and the spa and wellness provider ''Kur- und Bäder GmbH Bad Krozingen''.
Communal Partnership
Bad Krozingen shares a communal partnership (
Vereinbarte Verwaltungsgemeinschaft'') with the municipality of
Hartheim, with Bad Krozingen being the fulfilling municipality, i.e. providing municipal services for members of both communities. Bad Krozingen also chairs the joint committee, which is staffed by three councillors from each of the two partner communities.
Coat of Arms
Blazon
In heraldry and heraldic vexillology, a blazon is a formal description of a coat of arms, flag or similar emblem, from which the reader can reconstruct the appropriate image. The verb ''to blazon'' means to create such a description. The ...
: In blue, above a golden globe, a golden
Eye of God, surrounded by golden beams.
This surprising emblem bears on the gradual redesign and reinterpretation of the image on the town's old official seal, and town symbol. The oldest known seal of Bad Krozingen has been passed down on a document from 1686. It shows a geometric structure, surrounded by a circumscription of the words "Gemeinde Crotzingen". It may depict the stylised shape of a "Sester" (a vessel used to measure a certain volume unit of grain). This symbol is commonly encountered as a village marker, and can probably be regarded as such in this case as well. A derivation from the wheel in the coat of arms of the local gentry, on the other hand, seems unlikely, as does the interpretation as an arrow inserted into a crossbow (as suggested by Stadler), or even an explanation as the Eye of God floating above the globe.
This interpretation of the old seal as the Eye of God above the globe emerged in the 19th century, and the municipality insisted on these symbols and their interpretation when the State Archive presented a draft for a new coat of arms, which was based on the historical symbols. In 1921, the emblem used so far was embellished with the golden beams commonly used in depictions of the Eye of God, and this new version was established as the official coat of arms.
