The name "Nippenburg" has always been associated with Schwieberdingen. The Nippenburg was probably built in the 9th century. The first mention in the Codex Hirsaugensis reads: "When in 1160 Berwart built a mill below the Nippenburg for the monastery." This refers to today's Hagmühle in the Hemmingen area.
Located on a mountain spur, three sides of the castle were protected by a precipice and swamp, the fourth side with a mighty shield wall and moat in front of it was difficult to capture. There is no record of the Nippenburg being destroyed or burned down. For many centuries it provided its residents with safety and refuge until it was finally left to decay in the 17th and 18th centuries.
The restoration of the Nippenburg began in 1979. The securing work on the ruin, which was in danger of collapsing and overgrown with ivy, was carried out with painstaking manual labor. Later, the work was continued with a tractor that served as a tractor, construction crane and wheelbarrow all in one.
In September 1984, the work was largely completed. The Nippenburg is now once again one of the sights in the Ludwigsburg district and a popular local recreation destination in the region.

The Münchingen town hall is one of the most beautiful and impressive half-timbered houses in the Ludwigsburg district. Since the municipal reform in 1975, it has been the seat of the administrative office of the then newly formed town of Korntal-Münchingen in the Münchingen district.

The Münchinger Spitalhof is one of the oldest surviving facilities in the historic town center. The farm was first mentioned in documents as early as 1278 as an offshoot of the Esslingen Katharinenspital. Since the last major renovation in 2006, the building has housed a senior center.

Häussermann Nursery Plant Exhibition

Highlight • Structure

Even if you don't want to buy any plants, it's worth walking through the very large exhibition area, as there are flowers here depending on the season, and the different tree species (including sequoias) are also worth seeing.
