history
The Romans built from the year 150 AD between the Rhine at Koblenz and the Danube at Regensburg the Upper Germanic-Rhaetian Limes . This border line to the Germanic peoples also ran through the west of today's municipal area of Alfdorf. From the north-northwest, the Limes ran in a straight line over a length of 80 kilometers from the vicinity of Walldürn in the Odenwald to the Alfdorf district of Haghof , where it initially turned abruptly to the east and then swiveled again to the south shortly before the neighboring Alfdorf district of Pfahlbronn, and then to the Strive towards Remstal near Lorch. The next forts were in what is now the city of Welzheim (in the north) and Lorch (in the south). In the municipality of Alfdorf, the Romans built several watchtowers along the Limes, the foundation walls of some of them are still preserved.
The Seventeen near Welzheim are 17 farms from Altersberg, Nardenheim, Seelach, Hintersteinenberg, Vordersteinenberg, Deschental, Wighartsrüte, Kapf and Krettenbach, which today belong to Alfdorf and Gschwend. According to a widespread but refuted legend, in the late Middle Ages they had their own jurisdiction including their own place of execution.
Alfdorf was created during the older expansion period and was first mentioned in a document in 1143, when Bishop Walther von Augsburg confirmed a foundation to the Anhausen an der Brenz monastery ; this property went to the Lorch monastery in 1327 .
In the village of Pfahlbronn, the remains of Leineck Castle lie in a south loop of the Lein on the lower slope of the Bergsporn and just north of the Leinecksmühle .
Until 1805, Alfdorf was a knightly estate of the von Holtz family (since 1628) in the knightly canton of Kocher . In 1805 Alfdorf came under the sole sovereignty of Württemberg and in 1807 was first assigned to the Gmünd Oberamt and finally to the Welzheim Oberamt in 1810 . The administrative reform during the Nazi era in Württemberg led to membership in the Schwäbisch Gmünd district in 1938 . In 1945 the place became part of the American zone of occupation and thus belonged to the newly founded state of Württemberg-Baden , which was incorporated into the current state of Baden-Württemberg in 1952. Today's community was created on January 1, 1972 through the merging of the communities of Alfdorf, Pfahlbronn and Vordersteinenberg. Through the district reform in Baden-Württemberg , Alfdorf came to the newly formed Rems-Murr district in 1973 . In 1971, the state parliament of Baden-Württemberg found a majority of 56 to 55 votes for this decision.
