Dettighofen is a municipality in the district of Waldshut in Baden-Württemberg. It is located at the entrance to the customs exclusion zone, the so-called Jestetter Zipfel, which was established in 1840 and abolished in 1935.
In the first half of the 20th century, Dettighofen became known far beyond the region as "the reading and listening village". This was thanks to the commitment of its inhabitants to the library donated by the Wittmer family, who had emigrated to the USA. Progressive scientific literature and lectures - also on agricultural topics - led to a strong sense of community among the inhabitants, to spontaneous education and also to economic advantages thanks to new farming methods. Prince Max von Baden visited the village in 1910.
