Ditzingen Town Square

Highlight • Settlement

In summer, the beer garden set up in front of the Wichtel invites you to take a break and linger. Until then, you can also sit outside in the courtyard at the Wichtel when the weather is good.

Monrepos Avenue

Highlight • Trail

When the weather is nice, it's "hell on earth" here. Safe cycling is not to be expected. Tip: Park your bike at the castle or entrance and explore Monrepos on foot.

Built as an imperial castle around 1240, it was further expanded from around 1250 onward. In 1481, under Count Eberhard the Beard, it was expanded and converted into a palace, where the old Imperial Storm flag was kept. Partially demolished in 1724. The stones were used, among other things, for the construction of the Ludwigsburg Residence. In 1808, a new building was constructed: a penitentiary, later an orphanage. From 1873, it served as a teachers' college, now a secondary school.

Nippenburg Castle Ruins

Highlight • Castle

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.

Glemstal Cycle Path Near Ditzingen

Highlight • Cycleway

Very pretty little asphalt road, overlooking the Glems stream. There is very little traffic on it and the large shaded lawns along the path are ideal for taking a nap.

Fleischmühle

Highlight • Historical Site

Obertonmühle was the original name of this mill. In 1550 it became the property of "Fleischmartin's widow" and was renamed Fleischmühle. The grinding mechanism and the mill canal are largely still in good condition. In 2012 the old Mühlenscheuer was reopened after renovation.
