History

It is known in the 1970s for its opposition to the anti-nuclear movement. Wyhl was first mentioned in 1971 as a site for a nuclear power plant. The construction of a nuclear power plant in Breisach had been planned since 1969, was abandoned because of protests. In July 1973, Wyhl was named as the location for a power plant at the Kaiserstuhl.
