Flooding
In the evening of 2 June 2008, three women drowned in the Starzel following heavy rainfalls and disastrous flooding. English language news reports attempted to give the story a bit of drama by misleadingly referring to the Killertal as the "Killer Valley" (the Killer in Killertal in fact coming from the name of the nearby village).
Economy
Burladingen is the seat of Germanys biggest T-shirt and tennis clothing manufacturer Trigema. It is the only clothing enterprise left in the city, although Burladingen was a centre of textile industry in Germany.
