Former School and Town Hall Neipperg

Highlight • Historical Site

Since 1983, the former school and town hall in Neipperg has housed an inn - the Flämmle. The building was built in 1835 by the Bietigheim foreman Beltz. The left half was used as a school including a teacher's apartment, the right half as the town hall until it was incorporated into Brackenheim in 1974.
Typical for such buildings is the roof turret, which originally housed a bell.

Neipperg Castle

Highlight • Castle

A particularly dramatic episode occurred in 1525 during the German Peasants' War. The peasants, rebelling against the oppression and high taxes of the nobles, laid siege to Neipperg Castle. The siege was fierce and the castle's defenders had to stand up bravely against the attackers. Eventually the Lords of Neipperg managed to repel the siege, but the damage to the castle was considerable.

After the war, the castle was rebuilt and reinforced to better withstand future attacks. These events shaped the history of the castle and made it a symbol of the resistance and steadfastness of the Lords of Neipperg.
