Geographical location

Eglosheim is located northwest of the core city of Ludwigsburg between the Favoritepark and Hohenasperg and borders on Tamm and Freiberg am Neckar to the north, Hoheneck and Ludwigsburg-Nord to the east, Ludwigsburg-West to the south and Asperg to the west .

history

The former southern edge of the village is bordered by a closed row of centuries-old barns.

The name Eglosheim probably comes from a settlement of Egolf or Egilolf. In 844, goods from Hegoluesheim are also mentioned in a deed of donation from Lorsch Abbey. The next mention comes in the 12th century. In this deed of ownership of the Hirsau Monastery, among other nobles, Egilolf de Eglessheim and his brother also appear as witnesses. The former fortified seat of the Lords of Eglosheim is believed to be south of the church. It is assumed that Eglosheim belonged to the Ingersheim county and from the middle of the 12th century to the Tübingen Palatinate. From 1308 the Count Palatine sold part of their property to Count Eberhard von Württemberg. In 1536 the entire place came to the Duchy of Württemberg and belonged to the office of Grüningen . From its establishment until the Reformation , the Eglosheim parish belonged to the Land Chapter Grüningen in the Archdiaconate Trinity of the Diocese of Speyer .

During the Thirty Years War in 1635, the village was largely burned down by imperial troops when the Hohenasperg fortress was besieged . After the end of the war, only the church, wine press, forester's house and three houses of 145 buildings were probably left. In 1707 the French burned down about 30 buildings. With the construction of Ludwigsburg Palace, new streets were created and the Monrepos Lake Palace was built on Lake Eglosheim .

From 1800 new houses were built along today's Monreposstrasse. A parade ground for the Ludwigsburg garrison was built on the Hirschberg . At the end of the 19th century the population rose sharply, but the place remained rural. As early as 1901 Eglosheim was incorporated into Ludwigsburg. After the two world wars, the Hirschbergsiedlung and Straßenäcker residential areas were created. Due to the strong development, Eglosheim developed into the largest suburb of Ludwigsburg.
