The famous astronomer and mathematician Johannes Kepler lived here with his parents as a child until 1579. As his son wrote, his parents had "a marriage full of strife." His father, Heinrich, repeatedly ran away and joined the army. His mother was later accused of being a witch. But the future astronomer was able to attend Latin school here, thanks to compulsory schooling. Later, he was even allowed to study at the Duke's expense. To defend his mother, he returned to Leonberg as a grown man. At the time, he was the Imperial Mathematician.
