Kappishäuser is a district of the city of Neuffen in the Esslingen district in Baden-Württemberg .
geography
Kappishäuser is located on the western slope of the Jusi in the direction of Ermstal, around three kilometers west of Neuffen in the direction of Metzingen . Although Kappishäuser has a (short) common border with the city of Neuffen, geographically it forms a functional exclave. On the road it can only be reached via the neighboring town of Kohlberg .
history
The name of the place is mentioned relatively late, namely only in 1396, when the Cappushusern was first mentioned in a document. At that time Bertha von Seeburg sold all goods, rights and people inherited from her brother Hans, including property in Kappis houses, to Eberhard III. of Württemberg . Since 1424 the monastery Zwiefalten has been proven as a spiritual landlord. In 1750 the possessions of the monastery passed to Württemberg. The pin Urach was another spiritual landlord, who in 1493 had a Lehenhof. The Urach monks were called cap lords because of their headgear . As early as 1534/35 this property went to Württemberg in the course of the Reformation. The Württemberger were thus the most important landlord in Kappis houses.
During the Thirty Years War (1618-1648), the village was uninhabited from 1635 to 1651. In 1655 only four families with 20 people lived in Kappis houses again.
Until 1558, Kappishäuser belonged to the court in Neuffen, from 1602 to Kohlberg. Ecclesiastically, the place in which there was initially no church or chapel of its own belonged to the parish of Dettingen an der Erms (Deanery Urach). This is still the case with evangelical Christians today. There has been a Protestant church, the Michaelskirche, since 1953. It belongs to the Protestant parish of Dettingen an der Erms in the church district of Bad Urach-Münsingen of the Evangelical State Church in Württemberg, despite the fact that Kappis houses belong to the city of Neuffen in the Esslingen district.
On the Catholic side, Kappishäuser with Neuffen, Beuren and Kohlberg belong to the parish of St. Michael in Neuffen.
On July 1, 1972, Kappishäuser was incorporated into Neuffen.

Public institutions and buildings
Communal
- There is the former town hall , which is still used today by the mayor and the local council in its function. The Neuffen voluntary fire brigade , Kappishäuser department, is also housed in the town hall (it celebrated its 125th anniversary in 2013).
- There is also a kindergarten.
- There is also a town hall and parish hall - both can be used by the residents of the community for all kinds of activities. A bakery is also available to the Kappishäusen.
Ecclesiastical
- The Protestant Michaelskirche was built in 1953 by the Reutlingen architect Manfred Wizgall . The color-glazed choir window was created by the Stuttgart glass artist Adolf Valentin Saile with the motif of the risen and coming Christ.
- The Protestant parish hall was built in 1990. The striking round window was decorated with a glass painting by Thierry Boissel , head of the study and experimentation workshop for glass painting, light and mosaic at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich, with the motif "I am the vine, you are the vines ”( Jn 15,5 LUT ), not in the more than a thousand year old technique of lead glazing, but in a holistic process of blowing, joining, burning and painting the entire pane, innovatively developed by the artist.
Viticulture
Viticulture in Kappis houses is something special. In 1947 the Weingärtnergenossenschaft Hohenneuffen-Teck eG was formed, and Kappishäuser became a member of this cooperative. The vineyards of the village, which are part of the Hohenneuffen site, reach up to the 530-meter height line, making them the highest in all of Baden-Württemberg. The fact that viticulture is possible at this altitude is thanks to the warm marl soils and the sunny slopes.
societies
- The local branch of the Swabian Alb Association , founded in 1892, was awarded the Eichendorff plaque in 1992 .
traffic
Kappishäuser is connected by road via the L 1210 Kohlberg – Metzingen state road. Dettingen an der Erms can be reached via the K 6712 district road.
