history

Hardt Town Hall

Hardt is a late deforestation settlement. The first documentary mention comes from the year 1366, when a wolf from Altensteig sold income from the hamlet of Hardt to the Klarakloster Esslingen. At the same time he sold a farm in Hardt with stone pit and forest to the Kirchheim monastery. In the 15th century, the high authorities in Hardt passed to the Counts of Württemberg.

According to a legend, Duke Ulrich is said to have hid in the Ulrichshöhle under the Ulrichstein on his flight from Württemberg in 1519 and to have been supplied with food by the Hardter farm farmers. In his novel Lichtenstein, Wilhelm Hauff lets the Pfeifer von Hardt, one of the loyal followers of the expelled Duke, come from Hardt. As a thank you, Duke Ulrich is said to have granted the Hardter farmers complete tax exemption. It is not known whether the tax exemption for the Hardter farmers that actually existed until 1808 actually goes back to Duke Ulrich.

For centuries, an important connection road for transports from the Neckar valley to the Filder plain and on to Stuttgart and into the Aichtal ran over the “Teufelsbrücke” . At Hardt she crosses the "Devil's Blade", a ravine. The Devil's Bridge was first mentioned in a document in 1497.

On January 1, 1973 Hardt was incorporated into the city of Nürtingen.
