history

The name of the district of Kennenburg can be traced back to a member of the Esslingen patrician family Kürn, who was named as the castle owner in 1384 ("des Kürnen's castle"). The castle lay in the valley floor east of the Hainbach and is mentioned in a document in 1303 as "Buttocks" and in 1322 as "Bergfried im Hainbach". Presumably destroyed in the Great City War in 1449, its ruins were demolished in 1589. A group of houses called “Klupellen” developed from the first residential area on Stäffelesweg, which was handed down in 1317 and has merged into the hamlet “Kürnenburg”. In 1774 the place consisted of only five houses, in 1813 it had 25 inhabitants. From then on, the place name Kennenburg prevailed. In 1840, dignitaries from Esslingen founded a cold water sanatorium, which King Wilhelm I of Württemberg paid a visit to and which five years later was converted into a sanatorium for the mentally ill and mentally ill of the "educated classes", which made it supraregional. After several changes of ownership, it came into the possession of the city of Esslingen as a private clinic in 1941, which used the building as a gynecological clinic, auxiliary hospital and retirement home. After its demolition, the geriatric center was built on the site in the 1970s, which today dominates the townscape. The remainder of a wine press built in 1881, the last structural reminder of over 800 years of viticulture in Kennenburg, was put down in 2013. Today almost 600 people live in the Esslingen district.
