Trivia

The protagonists of the 1909 story Rapunzel by Ludwig Finckh are residents of Holzelfingen. The story begins with an homage to the village: “The village of Holzelfingen is located on the Swabian Alb, in the middle of the gray-white limestone cliffs. I would like to be born there like Konrad Vogelmist, whose mother said she would rather not go to heaven than live anywhere else on earth than in Holzelfingen. And she was right. ”In Holzelfingen-Lichtenstein there is also a Ludwig-Finckh-Straße.
