geography
The village is located in the south-south-west moving valley of the lower Fornsbach , which runs through a canal in the village area and which flows into the Murr on a fairly wide valley floor a little below at its large west bend . The Beilsbach comes in from the north-northwest and between the village and Murrknie reaches the Fornsbach, the upper valley of which has the same orientation. At the Fornsbach-Westkehre, a little east of the village, the Mahdbach flows , which comes from the Oberroter area from the Schanz . The tributaries from the less fragmented left and south side of the valley are significantly shorter, one of which flows through the forest lake. In the valley funnel of the Beilsbach is the residential area of the same name, which has grown together with the rest of the village.
history
The place was probably created by Murrhardt in the more recent expansion period. Fornsbach belonged to the County of Löwenstein and was pledged on April 8, 1376 by Count Albrecht von Löwenstein to Fürderer von Waldeck. As part of the County of Löwenstein, the place came under Württemberg sovereignty and the upper Löwenstein office of Sulzbach in 1504. In the course of mediatization , it came to the Oberamt Backnang in 1806/07 (since 1938 district of Backnang ).
On October 10, 1843, the community Fornsbach (with Hinterwestermurr, Köchersberg, Mettelberg and Schloßhof) was founded from parcels of the community Sulzbach . In the 1930s, Köchersberg (1933), Harnersberg (1934) and Neuhaus (1935) were reassigned from Murrhardt to Fornsbach. Before the incorporation in Murrhardt on July 1, 1971, the community included the village Fornsbach, the hamlets Harnersberg, Hinterwestermurr, Mettelberg, Neuhaus and Schloßhof and the residential areas Am Waldsee, Beilsbach, Mettelberger Sägmühle and Schloßhöfer Sägmühle. The community had an area of 15.19 km².

traffic
Fornsbach station is on the Waiblingen – Schwäbisch Hall-Hessental railway line . The RE line Stuttgart – Schwäbisch Hall-Hessental – Nuremberg and regional trains on the Backnang – Schwäbisch Hall-Hessental route run here.
In the course of the construction project "Re-establishment of the Fornsbach crossing station", the train crossing facility in Fornsbach, which was closed in 1996, was restored with the platform position slightly shifted (300 meters closer to the settlement, two outer platforms with an underpass including the installation of a crossing track and Ks signaling). The aim was to relocate the regular train crossing from Murrhardt station, just under five kilometers away, to Fornsbach station, which saves around ten minutes of waiting time for the Schwäbisch Hall-Hessental-Backnang section and enables an integral clock timetable. The financing agreement was signed in 2008, construction, which cost around twelve million euros, began in August 2011 and ended with the commissioning of the new train station when the timetable changed on December 9, 2012. Fornsbach station has been remote-controlled from Murrhardt ever since.
In addition, Fornsbach is located on Landesstraße 1066 between Murrhardt and Gaildorf . Both traffic routes use the wide valley from Mahdbach, lower Fornsbach and Murr, and to the east they overcome the barrier of the ski jump on the other side of the Oberrot area via a path or tunnel.
