Triberg im Schwarzwald (German pronunciation: [ˈtʁiːbɛʁk ʔɪm ˈʃvaʁtsvalt], lit. 'Triberg in the Black Forest') is a town in Baden-Württemberg, Germany, located in the Schwarzwald-Baar district in the Black Forest. Triberg lies in the middle of the Black Forest between 500 and 1038 metres above sea level.
Elektrizitäts-Gesellschaft Triberg, a regional utility, was founded 1896 by Friedrich Wilhelm Schoen, Wilhelm Eduard von Schoen and the famous industrialist and inventor Carl von Linde. It is still active today and partially owned by local municipalities. Watchmaking was once a thriving local industry, but no longer plays a central role in the economy. A private hospital, Asklepios Klinik, is the town's major employer.
The number of inhabitants was estimated at around 4.650 in 2022. In 2020, the population was estimated at 4,656.
