Laufenburg is located in the Aargau Jura, Switzerland south of the Rhine River.
In 1802 Napoleon ceded the Fricktal to the Helvetic Republic, called Canton Fricktal. However, as early as 1803 the Fricktal was assigned to the newly founded Canton of Aargau and with the Rhine, formed the national border to Germany.
