background
Herrenberg belongs to the greater Stuttgart area and is located in Korngäu in the district Boeblingen. The 522 m high Schlossberg in the east of the city is already an offshoot of the Schönbuchs. The city was founded in the 13th century. It has belonged to Württemberg since 1382. During the Thirty Years' War, Herrenberg was almost completely destroyed by a major fire. In the course of the reconstruction, the old town got the basic shape that is still valid today, in the following generations numerous half-timbered buildings that are still worth seeing were added. Herrenberg has been a major district town since the municipal reform in 1975 and has a total of 8 districts.
