Ponds in the Arkadien settlement

Highlight • Lake

These ponds were probably created as rainwater retention basins when the new settlement was built as flood protection. Sensible planning...

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.

Winnenden Old Town

Highlight • Historical Site

Winnenden is a city about 20 kilometers northeast of Stuttgart in Baden-Württemberg. It is the fifth largest city in the Rems-Murr district and a sub-centre in the central area of Waiblingen/Fellbach. It belongs to the Stuttgart region and the European metropolitan region of Stuttgart.

Winnenden has been a major district town since January 1, 1973.

Geographical location
Winnenden is located almost 20 kilometers northeast of Stuttgart in the Stuttgart region, which has around 2.7 million inhabitants, on the western edge of the Swabian Forest at an altitude of 270 to 504 meters. The old town lies on a hill between the Buchenbach and the Zipfelbach.

The following cities and municipalities border on the city of Winnenden. They are named clockwise starting from the north:

city outline
The urban area of Winnenden consists of the core city, the residential district of Schelmenholz (not an independent district), which was created in 1964 and had 4,441 inhabitants in 2000, and the districts of Baach, Birkmannsweiler, Breuningsweiler, Bürg, Hanweiler, Hertmannsweiler and Höfen, which only became part of the municipal reform incorporated in the 1970s. The individual districts also have separate residential areas with special names, such as Lange Weiden, Pfeilhof in Baach, Buchenbachhof, Burkhardshof and Neumühle in Birkmannsweiler, Sonnenberg in Breuningsweiler, Schulerhof in Bürg, Degenhof in Hertmannsweiler and Ruitzenmühle in Höfen. In the core city, residential areas with their own names are sometimes distinguished, whose designations have arisen over the course of history due to the development and which, however, can usually not be precisely defined. This includes, for example, the “Am Hungerberg” residential area.
