history
Gagernberg is one of the clearing and forest hamlets that were founded from Schmidhausen. The hamlet essentially shares the history of Schmidhausen and came with this and its other hamlets in 1443 from the Lords of Urbach to the Count Palatine near Rhine and thus to the Counts of Löwenstein , who held the property from 1510 as a Württemberg man fief.
In the 16th century there were four fiefs in the hamlet, which shared a total of around 110 acres. With 43 acres, fields made up the largest proportion, followed by meadows (34 acres) and forests (33 acres). In 1753 there were five hearths in Gagernberg, in 1810 there were 58 inhabitants.
When the new administrative structure in the Kingdom of Württemberg was implemented , Gagernberg was assigned to the Marbach Oberamt together with Schmidhausen in 1810 .
In 1865 it had reached its peak with 61 inhabitants. The population remained relatively stable until the end of the 19th century and fell to 30 in 1983 in the course of the 20th century.
