Frankenbach (Stuttgart)
The village of Frankenbach is a historically not completely secure medieval desert in the area of today's city center of Stuttgart . It must have been lost for a long time in the 16th century and is said to have had a church.
Notes on the village of Frankenbach
The most specific reference to the Frankenbach settlement comes from the lawyer and chancellor Johann Feßler (1502/03 Tübingen - 1572 Stuttgart). He reports on a long-gone settlement of this name a little northeast of the Leonhardskirche in the area of today's Charlottenplatz , which had a church.
For precise localization
Hartmut Schäfer , who led the excavations in the Stuttgart collegiate church and in the old castle between 1998 and 2005 , pointed out in 2012 that there was no archaeological evidence of an early settlement at this point. Instead, he expressed the idea of “moving the place, which cannot be grasped at this point, to the north over the Nesenbach”. Frankenbach would have been the name of the settlement in the area of the collegiate church and old castle, which has been archaeologically documented since the 8th century, and which was probably given the name Stuotgarten when Duke Liudolf of Swabia founded the stud in the middle of the 10th century .
