The three districts form residential districts within the meaning of the Baden-Württemberg municipal code and the two districts Gronau and Prevorst together form a locality within the meaning of the Baden-Württemberg municipal code with its own local council and mayor as its chairman. For the election of the local council, the false choice of suburbs is used accordingly, Gronau and Prevorst form the two residential districts, residential district II and residential district III . The districts of Gronau and Prevorst formed the independent municipality of Gronau until December 31, 1971. The village of Gronau belongs to the district of Gronau.

history
History of Oberstenfeld
Oberstenfeld originated in the 7th or 8th century. It was settled by the pre-existing village of Boteburon, now Großbottwar. In 1016, the Oberstenfeld women's monastery was founded on site . In 1357 the Counts of Württemberg took over its patronage. The monastery, which accepted the Reformation in 1540, remained part of the imperial knighthood until 1803 and was only then taken over by Württemberg.
During the Thirty Years' War , the place, like all surrounding places, suffered greatly. In the summer of 1693, Oberstenfeld, like the neighboring Beilstein, was set on fire by French troops in the Palatinate War of Succession , with around a third of the town, including the town hall, being burned down.
With the new administrative structure of the young Kingdom of Württemberg , Oberstenfeld came to the Oberamt Marbach in 1807 . In 1832 the place had about 1200 inhabitants. Since there was initially no settlement of industrial companies in the course of industrialization, there was almost no growth in the 19th century in the place adjoining the monastery grounds to the northeast and stretching along Marktstrasse and Schmiedbergstrasse. It was not until 1900 that the Bottwartalbahn was built that important economic aspects emerged, but growth was rather modest until immediately after the Second World War. During the administrative reform during the Nazi era in Württemberg , Oberstenfeld came to the Ludwigsburg district in 1938.
In 1945 the place became part of the American zone of occupation and thus belonged to the newly founded state of Württemberg-Baden , which was incorporated into the current state of Baden-Württemberg in 1952. In 1953, 1780 inhabitants were counted in Oberstenfeld. The designation of construction and industrial areas brought industrial companies and residents to the area. The most important industrial companies included a Getrag plant and the Werzalit company . In addition, other industrial companies developed from regional craft businesses. In 1968 about 3000 inhabitants were counted. The town center received its present form through several area renovations from the 1970s. In 1972 Gronau and Prevorst were incorporated, making the community a population of over 7,000.
History of the districts
The district of Prevorst [ ˈpreːfɔrst ] and Lichtenberg Castle also came from the Lords of Lichtenberg to the Counts of Württemberg in 1357, who had already acquired Gronau from the Margraves of Baden a few years earlier (1350) . Prevorst subsequently belonged to the municipality of Gronau.
While the three places were still jointly assigned to the Marbach Oberamt from 1810 , Oberstenfeld came to the Ludwigsburg district in 1938 , while Gronau and Prevorst went to the Heilbronn district . On January 1, 1972, Gronau was incorporated with Prevorst, however, changing the district to Oberstenfeld.
The place Prevorst was born by Friederike Hauffe . Wanner (1801–1829), the so-called seeress of Prevorst , known about whom Justinus Kerner wrote a report.

Since the Reformation ordered by Duke Ulrich in 1534 , the communities in Oberstenfeld have been evangelical. There are three Protestant congregations with their respective houses of worship.

These three parishes belong to the Marbach church district of the Evangelical Church in Württemberg .
After the Second World War, a Catholic parish was formed with the Church of the Holy Heart of Jesus, which was built in 1962 . The community belongs to the Bottwartal pastoral care unit in the Ludwigsburg dean's office in the Rottenburg-Stuttgart diocese .
There is also a New Apostolic church and a mosque in Oberstenfeld . The mosque is called Selimiye Camii and is operated by the DITIB .

Buildings
Lichtenberg Castle towers above Oberstenfeld amid idyllic vineyards.
The Romanesque St. Peter's Church with the choir tower , located on a ridge about a kilometer north of today's town center, is the legacy of a no longer existing predecessor parish. In pagan times there was very likely a place of sacrifice at the place until the place was converted for Christian worship. In the first half of the 11th century, the original wooden church was replaced by the current stone church. In the 13th century the choir was vaulted and the church was completely painted with frescoes, some of which are still preserved. The church was almost forgotten and remained unused for a long time. 1973–1976, however, it was restored and has since been used for Protestant and occasionally for Catholic services. The Peterskirche is one of the oldest sacred buildings in Württemberg.
The second oldest church in the community, the Cyriakuskirche , is located in the district of Gronau. Your choir tower dates from the 13th and 14th centuries. In 1599 it was rebuilt and expanded. Inside there is a beautiful sermon pulpit with an equally beautiful staircase.

Peterskirche
The Protestant collegiate church of St. John the Baptist in the center of the village is one of the most important Romanesque churches in the country. It was built as a place of prayer for the aristocratic women's choir founded in 1016. The oldest part is the western half of the crypt from the late 11th century. The former building was then replaced. First came the main nave, which was built around 1220 and then the choir tower at 1230. It is open from May to October on Sundays from 11 am to 1 pm. Guided tours are offered for a fee. Right next to it is the village church , built in the 9th century as the Gallus chapel. Later it became the prayer house of the Fleckengemeinde in contrast to the neighboring collegiate church, which was reserved for the noble canons. After severe damage from 1693, it was rebuilt in 1738. The north portal is adorned by the stone coat of arms of the community, a mounted colonel who is also present on the weather vane .
The youngest church in Oberstenfeld is the Evangelical Church in the Prevorst district, which was built in 1905 in a neo-Gothic style.
A number of well-restored baroque half-timbered houses have been preserved in the town center, including
- the town hall , which was initially built in 1698 as a single storey and to which two more storeys were added in 1840;
- the half-timbered house at Großbottwarer Straße 14, across the corner from the town hall on the market square, built in 1700;
- the bakery, the former benefice house from 1702, birthplace of the democrat Johannes Nefflen , originally a residence for the canons;
