history
Early history
The place was first mentioned in a document in the year 972. However, finds show that this area was settled 6000 years ago in the Neolithic Age. There are also other finds from the Urnfield period and from the times of Celtic and Roman settlement. A few kilometers away in Steinheim an der Murr, the skull of Homo steinheimensis was discovered, which is estimated to be 250,000 years old. It is believed that all Europeans descend from this Homo steinheimensis. From a cultural and historical point of view, Affalterbach lies on the border between the dominions of the Franks and the Alemanni .
The Alemanni had managed to conquer a huge area over the course of 200 years. The Franks faced battle in 496 south of Cologne. They defeated the Alemanni and threw them far south. As a border they determined a line that ran across the Lemberg and Hohenasperg. This made the Affalterbach markings an immediate border area. Presumably the Franks set up a military post on the Lemberg, which secured the border from this dominant point and monitored road traffic, as an important peoples route led across our markings.
In 1322 Affalterbach fell to the County of Württemberg , was subordinated to the Marbach office and is therefore part of Altwürttembergs .
Origin of name
The community name "Affalterbach" is derived from the old German word Affalter ( = apple tree ). Already in 972 there was more fruit growing here than anywhere else. In 1965 there were 29,907 tall fruit trees on the parish. The uppermost part of the Strombach is called the Apfelbach, a small river in the south of Affalterbach. The place name should therefore be derived from the name of this brook.
16th century to World War II
Detailed records are only available from 1525. At that time there were 43 houses in Affalterbach and three houses in Wolfsölden, in which 269 residents lived. By 1584, the number of residential buildings and residents had almost doubled. The Thirty Years War brought great disaster to Affalterbach. Around 1640, the last survivors are likely to have left their home village, which was now exposed to destruction and total decay by spring 1649. An inventory in 1652 showed that not a single house was intact and habitable. 50 years later (1703) there were 344 residents in Affalterbach. This number tripled within 100 years. In 1802 Affalterbach had 1,033 inhabitants.
This development brought with it considerable social problems, since the livelihoods had remained the same. Nevertheless, the population continued to skyrocket. In 1864 it reached its highest level for the time being in 1532. This made Affalterbach one of the most important communities in the Marbach District Office . Like everywhere else in the country, the economic conditions in Affalterbach were bad, as agriculture could no longer feed the many people. Some residents tried their hand at craftsmen . In Affalterbach in 1806, the year the Kingdom of Württemberg was founded , there were no fewer than 10 tailors , 18 weavers , 8 shoemakers , 4 butchers , 1 miller , 4 bakers , 5 blacksmiths , 3 wagons , 4 coopers , 7 masons , 7 carpenters , 2 carpenters , 2 shepherds and 1 barber . Most of them did not even reach a subsistence level. So many people left their homeland and looked for happiness far away. 496 Affalterbachers emigrated from 1816 to 1910. Most (383) went to America . Only when industrialization began at the end of the 19th century did economic conditions improve. However, this development completely bypassed Affalterbach. Trade and industry could not gain a foothold here. The local council did its part because it wanted to keep Affalterbach as an agricultural community. So many people moved away. The population fell steadily and reached its lowest level in 1939 at 1,034.
During the district reform in Württemberg during the Nazi era , Affalterbach came to the Backnang district in 1938 .
1945 until today
Since the place had become part of the American occupation zone after the Second World War , it had belonged to the newly founded state of Württemberg-Baden since 1945 , which was incorporated into the current state of Baden-Württemberg in 1952.
At the beginning of the 1960s, the largest local company - the Friedrich Feyhl joinery on Winnender Strasse - only had five employees. At that time the community had no income from business tax. Today Affalterbach is a residential and industrial community with partly still village character. Affalterbach was twice able to win the title of the most beautiful village in the Ludwigsburg district. At the same time, modern industrial companies have their headquarters here. Apart from one company, all the other companies with fewer than 20 employees started in Affalterbach. Today there are over 1700 jobs and the number is rising.
District affiliation
Until 1938 the place belonged to the Oberamt Marbach and was then assigned to the district of Backnang . With the Baden-Württemberg district reform in 1973 , however, this was dissolved and Affalterbach was incorporated into the Ludwigsburg district.

badges and flags
|
|
Blazon : "In silver (white) over a blue wave shield base, a natural apple tree with green leaves and red apples." |
| Justification of the coat of arms: Since the first half of the 19th century, a goblet has been identified as a stamp image in the mayor's office seals. This symbol is related to local viticulture. When the community tried to get a regular coat of arms in 1936, the Stuttgart archives suggested the current "talking" characters. The first part of the community name "Affalter" is an old word for "apple tree". |
The municipality flag is green and white. The coat of arms and flag were awarded on May 24, 1965.
