history
Church Kirnberg emerged in the recent expansion of time and was on May 2, 1182 as Curinberch first mentioned as the place owned by the monastery Murrhardt to the monastery Adelberg came. With the Reformation , Kirchenkirnberg became part of Württemberg . Kirchenkirnberg was part of the Adelberg Monastery Office and, when it was dissolved in 1807, it became part of the Welzheim District Office and when it was dissolved in 1938, it became part of the Backnang district .
Before the Reformation, Kirchenkirnberg was a place of pilgrimage. A fair was held on Easter Monday. Under Duke Christoph Kirchenkirnberg lost the market rights on February 13, 1555 in favor of the city of Murrhardt. The village's request from 1570 for a new market right was rejected.
Small amounts of hard coal were mined near Kirchenkirnberg in the 16th and 17th centuries . When farmers rediscovered the tunnel, which until then was known as the “Geistloch” as a cave, around 1790, attempts were made to mine coal again. This failed, however, because the tunnel could not be properly drained. New attempts in 1821 were also soon abandoned.
In 1809, Kirchenkirnberg became the seat of its own municipal administration. The parish Kirchenkirnberg was incorporated into Murrhardt on July 1, 1971. The community included the village of Kirchenkirnberg, the hamlets of Gänshof, Gärtnershof, Göckelhof, Mettelbach (a distinction is sometimes made between Ober- and Untermettelbach), Oberneustetten, Spielhof, Täle , Tiefenmad, Untersteustetten, the Mutzenhof and Schloßmühle farms and the Leukers, Marxenhof, Reute residential areas , Vögelesreute and Wiesenhof. In addition, the hamlet of Bruch and the residential areas Weidenhof and Weidenbach, which today belong to the municipality of Kaisersbach. The community had an area of 12.32 km².
