Top 14 Huts and Cabins around Schrozberg

The Vorbach stream flows through Oberstetten. At the same time, the Reutalbach stream flows into the Vorbach stream in the village. For centuries, Oberstetten has been plagued by flood disasters because the water had limited space in the narrow valley. This is why flood retention basins were built in the Vorbach valley and the Reutalbach stream outside Oberstetten around 1980.

Brunst used to mean mountain. I.e. Brunstwald is the mountain forest. Derived from the word "bryn" meaning hill. The word can be found in Welsh dictionaries. I.e. this word may have a Germanic or Celtic origin.

Historical documents show that the forest is Hegenest Würzburgisch (bishop). Since many farms and villages in the area were sold to the Schäftersheim monastery, it can be assumed that the forest was also worked by the monastery. Between 1802 and 1810 Hohenlohe-Bartenstein had to cede some villages in Lower Alsace to France as a result of the Reichsdeputationsgesetz (see map). As a replacement, Hohenlohe-Bartenstein received, among other things, the Heftenwald (approx. 130ha) near Rinderfeld and the Hegnest (approx. 150ha), as well as approx. 15 villages in Hohenlohe. Attention: Hohenlohe-Jagstberg and Hohenlohe-Bartenstein belonged together around 1800. For financial reasons, Hohenlohe-Bartenstein sold the magazines to the state of Württemberg (1934) and Wald Hegenest (approx. 1980) to the Böblingen municipal works.

Until 1830, the Braunst forest (formerly Brunst) was a private forest owned by the people of Oberstetten with 105 owners. In 1830 the state of Württemberg bought this forest. In the contract it says: There were many disputes about hunting justice, including poaching with Hohenlohe-Bartenstein, Rosenberg and Hatzfeld-Haltenbergstetten and Schrozberg. Each community law got 1100 fl. The building society made up 3,000 fl, from which each owner of community rights gets 40 trunks a 11.15m for building a house and 30 trunks for a shambles in money. Supposedly, some people from Oberstetten drank away the income from the sale of the forest.

The forestry hut there belonged to the former state tree nursery. The meadow that still exists was the forestry garden in which the plants were transplanted into the forest after 4 years of cultivation. Not only the sequoias are interesting, but also the two yew trees in between. Caution: everything about the yews is poisonous!

The giant sequoias were discovered in the USA in 1852. The nature-loving Wilhelm I is said to have been so enthusiastic about reports and travelers that in 1864, shortly before his death, he ordered seeds of the sequoia for US$ 90. The king had ordered a lot (15g) of seeds. The Americans translated the amount as "a lot". This corresponds to 470g. That weight was then seeds for 100,000 trees. About 8000 trees could be produced from the seeds. These were then schooled and distributed to all forestry offices in Württemberg. The trees in Braunst are likely to have come from a subsequent generation.

Around 1950 there was a state tree nursery here. The district forester at the time was interested in new tree species. This is the reason why you can see 6 giant coast redwoods here. 6 trees were also planted in Schrozberg. Having such a huge tree in your own garden can be annoying. More can be found in the surrounding woods. The tree nursery was given up in the 1970s for economic reasons.
