I like being here. The marketplace in Winnenden forms the historical and vibrant center of the oldest town in the Rems-Murr district. The central square in the old town captivates with its historical flair, cozy gastronomy, and regular events.

What was Winnenden's former name? In 1525, it was called Bürg, and in 1624, Altwinnenden. Altwinnenden Castle was the seat of the Lords of Winnenden before it became part of Württemberg. Initially, the town, along with the settlements of Schulerhof and Stöckenhof, belonged to the municipality of Baach. In 1686, the town was called Bürck bey Bach.

This monument stands in front of Winnental Castle in Winnenden. A stone-carved pug with a laurel wreath around its neck commemorates the dog of Duke Karl Alexander of Württemberg. He led the imperial army against the Ottoman troops during the Battle of Belgrade in 1717. Legend has it that during the battle, master and dog lost each other, whereupon the pug walked alone on its crooked legs, more than 1,100 kilometers back to Winnental. After his death, the people erected this monument to the well-behaved and always exceedingly friendly dog. The animal's incredible endurance run exactly 300 years ago will be celebrated with a large town festival in May of this year, regardless of whether the story is true or not. – Yes, the Swabians always find a reason to celebrate! https://www.schlossspross.de/2017/04/23/der-mops-von-winnenden/
