geography

Gundelsbach 1686 in the Kieser forest inventory book

Gundelsbach is a small hamlet that belongs to the town of Weinstadt im Remstal in the Stuttgart catchment area . It is a residential area of the city, not a separate district, like Baach .

Gundelsbach has 100 inhabitants and is located in the northeastern tip of the urban area. The Gundelsbach flows through it in a broad basin , which rises beyond the northern city limits on the wooded Buocher Höhe and flows a total of almost four kilometers to the south-southeast to the Rems between Remshalden - Grunbach and Weinstadt- Großheppach .

The place is surrounded by vineyards and orchards, on the steep slopes there is mixed beech forest. His houses initially run along the access road down the valley, which forks in the south of the hamlet into two routes, which then connect it at the exit of the valley with Großheppach in the south-west and Grunbach in the south-east, both of which are less than 2 km away as the crow flies. To the north, the village road continues as a forest path. The slope to the oak forest in the east in the direction of Buoch climbs a vineyard path in serpentines; to the west over the Ziegenberg there is no route from the village itself.

There are two restaurants that are mainly frequented by hikers and weekenders.

history

In 1355, the mayor and the community of Waiblingen gave a hermit in the Gundelsbach forest a job to build a hut for St. Paul's hermits. The result was a small monastery to which Count Ulrich von Württemberg handed over the chaplaincy in Kleinheppach in 1461 . It was destroyed in the Peasants' War in 1525 and abolished in Württemberg after the Reformation was introduced. His income was given to the city of Waiblingen in 1559. At the beginning of the 19th century the last structural remains of the small monastery were demolished. A small hamlet was built around the monastery from around 1470, which has always belonged to the community of Großheppach in both secular and ecclesiastical terms.
