history
Celtic archaeological finds show that the municipality was already before the year 700 BC. Was settled. Denkendorf was first mentioned in a document in 1129 in which Pope Honorius II took the Denkendorf monastery under his protection. The place should have existed a long time before. When the Reichsautobahn (today's A8 autobahn) was built in 1935, an Alemannic row grave field was uncovered that was dated to shortly before 700 AD.
In the High Middle Ages, Denkendorf was within the domain of the Duchy of Swabia . From the late Middle Ages to the Reformation, local history was shaped by the rule of the Denkendorf monastery. With the dissolution of the monastery in the time of the Reformation Denkendorf, together with the neighboring villages Altdorf and Berkheim the now- Württemberg assumed monastery District. During the Thirty Years' War, Denkendorf also suffered brutal looting and destruction between 1634 and 1639 after the battle of Nördlingen that Württemberg had lost . Denkendorf housed a Protestant monastery school up to 1584 and again from 1713 to 1810. The place came to the Oberamt Esslingen in 1808 when the new administrative structure in the Kingdom of Württemberg was implemented . During the district reform during the Nazi era in Württemberg , the community came to the Esslingen district in 1938. After the Second World War, the place became part of the American zone of occupation and thus belonged to the newly founded state of Württemberg-Baden , which was merged into the current state of Baden-Württemberg in 1952.
In the district and community reform of 1973/74, Denkendorf was able to keep its independence unchanged.

Economy and Infrastructure
traffic
From 1926 to 1978, Denkendorf was connected by rail to the district town of Esslingen am Neckar by the Esslingen – Nellingen – Denkendorf tram . The connection with Nellingen and Esslingen is made today by the bus route 119 of the END Verkehrsgesellschaft . In Nellingen there is also a connection to the U7 and U8 lines of the Stuttgart Stadtbahn , they both end there.
The federal highway 10 can be reached in a few minutes via the Körschtal or the Nellingen bypass and connects Denkendorf with Stuttgart , Esslingen, Plochingen and Göppingen . The federal motorway 8 passes south of the town. It connects Stuttgart with Munich and Karlsruhe . The two closest junctions are in the east of Wendlingen (just under 10 minutes) and in the west of Neuhausen (5 minutes). The Sulzbach Viaduct is located in the municipality and leads the motorway over the eponymous river. The Stuttgart Airport can be reached in less than 15 minutes.
The new Stuttgart – Wendlingen line planned as part of the Stuttgart 21 project is to run in the area of Denkendorf in a bundle of traffic routes with the motorway, including the Denkendorf tunnel and the Sulzbachtal railway overpass .
Exposure to traffic noise
The downside of the very good transport connections are greatly increased noise emissions to which the place is exposed. The A8 motorway in the south of the district ensures constant sound around the clock. The noise protection structures along the motorway, which have been improved several times , only provided temporary relief; the effects were caught up again by the constant increase in traffic. All attempts to bring about a speed limit in this section of the A8 have so far failed. After the construction of the new Stuttgart-Wendlingen line along the motorway, the overall noise pollution will presumably continue to increase.
The approach lane for Stuttgart Airport runs along the northern boundary of the town and causes considerable aircraft noise from the other side . The altitude of the aircraft in the Denkendorf area is only a few hundred meters.
