'''Utzenfeld''' ({{IPA|de|ˈʊtsn̩fɛlt}}; {{langx|gsw|Utzefäld}}) is a municipality in the district of [Lörrach](/source/L%C3%B6rrach_(district)) in [Baden-Württemberg](/source/Baden-W%C3%BCrttemberg) in [Germany](/source/Germany).

==Geography==
Utzenfeld is a community in the [Black Forest](/source/Black_Forest) ([Schwarzwald](/source/Schwarzwald)) in [Baden-Württemberg](/source/Baden-W%C3%BCrttemberg). It is a member of the Schönau Community Administration Association in the Black Forest. The elevation of Utzenfeld ranges from 560 meters, up to 1,124 meters in the upper meadow valley of the Südschwarzwald nature reserve.

===Neighboring communities===
The community borders on [Wieden](/source/Wieden) in the north, the city of [Todtnau](/source/Todtnau) in the east, [Tunau](/source/Tunau) and the city of [Schönau](/source/Sch%C3%B6nau_im_Schwarzwald) in Schwarzwald in the south, and [Aitern](/source/Aitern) in the west.

==History==
Utzenfeld was clearly identified for the first time in 1294. It belonged to the cloister of St. Blasien then, and later, by 1368, was part of [Vorderösterreich](/source/Vorder%C3%B6sterreich). When the cloister was secularized in 1806, the village became part of the newly created Großherzogtum Baden. Utzenfeld became an independent community in 1809.

==Religions==
Since Vorderösterreich was part of the [Reformation](/source/Protestant_Reformation), most of the local people belong to the Roman Catholic Church at Schönau, but there is also a "Gotteshaus" in Utzenfeld. The limited number of Protestants in the area also go to Schönau.
