Geographical location
The densely wooded core is located in the southwest of the Rems-Murr district in the far west of the Schurwald. It rises about 2.5 km south-south-west of Rommelshausen (to Kernen im Remstal ), almost 2.5 km west-south-west of Stetten (to Kernen im Remstal), around 4.5 km north of Esslingen , around 2.5 km east-northeast of Stuttgart District Uhlbach and about 3.5 km southeast of Fellbach (in each case as the crow flies). Several hiking trails lead to its summit.
Core tower
On the core stands the core tower , which was built in 1896 by the Swabian Alb Association . From there you can enjoy the view of the Stuttgart basin, the Swabian Alb and the mountains .
Name and story
The old name of the kernel was "Beiburg". Even today, the tubs on the north and south sides bear this name. The term kernels is likely to be derived from a parcel of land to the east called “Gernhalde” (like a Gern = spear tapering).
Numerous archaeological finds on the Kernen dating back to the Bronze Age and Celtic barrows show that the mountain has been important to the local residents since ancient times.
The municipality of Stetten-Rommelshausen , which emerged as part of the municipality reform in 1975 from the merger of the two municipalities of Stetten im Remstal and Rommelshausen, was renamed a short time later with the help of a naming competition after the mountain in Kernen (in the Remstal) in the immediate vicinity .
