history

Großheppach was first mentioned in 1236 as Hegnesbach . Around 1350 the castle and the village became a Palatine fiefdom under different owners. Since 1456 parts of the village and from 1506 the whole village were owned by Württemberg . At first, Großheppach belonged to the Württemberg office, later Oberamt Schorndorf , but - like Endersbach - it came to the Oberamt Waiblingen as early as 1807 . Großheppach has always been shaped by viticulture. The old wine press was built in 1929. In addition to Württemberg, the Weiler monastery near Esslingen had tithing rights, the Carthusian monastery Christgarten (near Ederheim in today's Donau-Ries district) owned a number of vineyards until the late 18th century and had its own farm in the village. On June 12 and 13, 1704, the council of war of the three generals Prince Eugene of Savoy , Duke of Marlborough and Margrave Ludwig Wilhelm von Baden took place in the “Lamm” inn . This council of war led to victory at the Battle of Höchstädt . On January 1, 1975, the previously independent communities of Beutelsbach, Endersbach (with Strümpfelbach), Großheppach and Schnait merged to form the new community of Weinstadt.

The coat of arms shows a blue wavy bar in gold above, below a vine with four grapes in natural colors.
