history

At the beginning of the 16th century, the Vellbergers , who exercised the right of patronage in Gründelhardt, owned a lake and goods near Banzenweiler. After the family died out in 1592, Brandenburg and Hall soon shared the place. Like the neighboring towns, Banzenweiler suffered from the Thirty Years' War , so from March 20 to 28, 1636, imperial troops were billeted in the town. After the Napoleonic reorganization, Banzenweiler and Gründelhardt finally fell to the Kingdom of Württemberg in 1810 . Ecclesiastically, Banzenweiler always belonged to Gründelhardt. In 1884 it had 14 houses and 93 residents. As a place of the previously independent community of Gründelhardt, it became part of the new community of Frankenhardt formed by merging with the neighboring community of Honhardt on January 1, 1974 .
