Dettighofen is a village and municipality in the district of Waldshut in Baden-Württemberg in Germany.

History

From 1840 until 1935, the original territory of Dettighofen, along with Jestetten, Lottstetten and Altenburg, was part of the region which formed a customs exclusion zone and was not part of the German customs area. Inhabitants were able to offer their produce to the rest of Germany as well as to Switzerland. This situation brought about a higher standard of living and prosperity compared to the rest of Germany.

On 1 April 1936 the hamlet Albführen became part of the municipality of Dettighofen.[4]

On 1 January 1974 the municipalities of Berwangen and Baltersweil merged to become part of Dettighofen.[5][6]
