Location Teningen is set on the edge of the
Black Forest mountain range.
Geology The
geological subsoil consists of
sandstone and
limestone and is covered by
loess layers of different thickness. The
Elz river created alluvial gravel and sand sediments that had been used as pastures but were adapted for agriculture in many cases.
Municipal subdivisions The municipality Teningen comprises four districts: The main town Teningen and the formerly independent towns Heimbach, Köndringen and Nimburg.
Climate The climate in this area is close to a Mediterranean microclimate, and there is adequate rainfall year-round. However, more year-round rain occurs than in the Rhine plateau because of the closeness to the
Black Forest. The
Köppen Climate Classification subtype for this climate is "
Cfb" (Marine West Coast Climate/
Oceanic climate). However, it is close to being
humid subtropical (Cfa) due to the mean temperatures in July and August just under 22 °C. The city is close to the
Kaiserstuhl, a range of hills of volcanic origin located a few miles away which is considered to be one of the warmest places of Germany and therefore considered as a viticultural area. |publisher = Wetterdienst |url = https://www.wetterdienst.de/Deutschlandwetter/Emmendingen/Klima/|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20200202183442/https://www.wetterdienst.de/Deutschlandwetter/Emmendingen/Klima/|url-status = dead|archive-date = 2 February 2020|title=Klima Emmendingen - Station Emmendingen-Mundingen |accessdate = 2 February 2020 }} }} ==Mayors==
