Kleinheppach in the Remstal is now a district of Korb in Baden-Württemberg with around 1600 inhabitants. The places Großheppach and Kleinheppach are located on the Heppach , a brook that flows into the Rems . Kleinheppach's local mountain is the Kleinheppacher Kopf , an offshoot of the Buocher Höhe . Every year on Ascension Day and on the following Sunday, the traditional mountain festival, which is known beyond the borders of the Remstal, takes place here.
history
Großheppach and Kleinheppach emerged as a joint expansion site in the 9th century (at the time the Fronhof constitution was still in force) and was probably founded in Waiblingen. The place takes its name from the brook, which at that time was already called Heckebach or Heggebach, which stands for a brook between hedges; the village and corridor image of the Middle Ages was characterized by the many hedges that served as fences. The oldest spellings of the place name are Hegnesbach (1236) and Hegbach (1365). As an independently tangible place, Kleinheppach first appears as Heckebach superiori (1294) or Obernheggebach (1297).
Kleinheppach was part of Württemberg and was initially assigned to the Schorndorf Office, but from 1718 it belonged to the Waiblingen Office and later Oberamt .
In 1355 the mayor and the community of Waiblingen founded a chaplain, which was initially looked after by Steinreinach and later by one of the Gundelsbach brothers. After the Reformation in Württemberg in 1535, Kleinheppach became a church affiliate of Großheppach.
Until 1972 Kleinheppach was an independent municipality.
Family history
Much is known about the Kleinheppach families because the sources are comparatively good , even before the Thirty Years' War . One of the important families before the Thirty Years War was the mayor family Bebion. The progenitor is Vincentz Bebion, born around 1520 in neighboring Endersbach. Much is also known about Peter Äckerle, who came to Kleinheppach from Grunbach in 1577, because several files from court proceedings that he conducted have been preserved. He is the progenitor of a family that established a number of mayors after 1698.
Sports
The oldest sports club in town was the Kleinheppach strength sports club, founded in 1911 . The barn of the Gasthaus Krone served as the first training room . During the First World War , the club's activity was suspended. After the end of the war, a new foundation was decided with 15 members. The "strong men" of the sports club became European champions in the tug of war in Cologne in 1924. From 1925 to 1930 the club was five times German champions in the tug of war. After the National Socialist seizure of power, the sporting activity fell asleep more and more. On November 22, 1935, it was decided to dissolve the association.
Attractions
The core of the church in the town center dates from the late 15th century; its tower was only built in 1955. The artist Hans Gottfried von Stockhausen designed the beautiful stained glass windows. Inside there is an organ with a wooden pipe prospect.
The Kleinheppach Stone Age Museum was housed in the former town hall . Objects from a prehistoric and folkloric private collection of Kleinheppacher Eugen Reinhard were exhibited there. The focus is on the prehistory and early history of the front Remstal. The finds from the Paleolithic are the oldest evidence of people in the Rems Valley during the Ice Age. Finds from the Middle and Neolithic as well as the Roman, Celtic and Alemannic times were also on display. A large folklore collection and diverse testimonies to local history from the 18th to the 20th century rounded off the collection together with various fossils, minerals, crystals and rocks. The building was demolished in early 2018. The site is to be rebuilt with.
