Schönberg is a district of Stuttgart in the district of Birkach auf den Fildern .
history
Schönberg is one of the younger districts of the Baden-Württemberg state capital Stuttgart.
In a local chronicle from the early 20th century there is the first reference to a development of this Birkacher Gewann: “Since 1900 a lot of building activity has started in the community, namely various houses were built in the Gewann Schönberg and Roten Acker, as well as on the Möhringerstrasse and Plieninger Strasse. Since then, the price of goods has been increasing here and the proximity to Stuttgart is becoming more and more apparent. "
At the turn of the century, Stuttgarters who were “tired of the talks” had come into fashion to take a cure. But not according to the aristocratic model to Karlsbad or Baden-Baden , but bourgeois modestly to the heights of the surrounding area. So, also and above all on the particularly scenic and urban southern slope of the Schönberg, spa houses were built. And those who could afford it built their own house there in the healthy mountain air and stayed for a long time.
In the official description of the Stuttgart District Office from 1926, you can read: "In the Gewann Schönberg, on the northern side of the Ramsbach valley below Kleinhohenheim, a villa colony has emerged that is developing rapidly and very promisingly."
On April 1, 1942, Schönberg was incorporated into the city of Stuttgart together with Birkach. At that time, Schönberg was still relatively sparsely populated. That changed rapidly from the 1950s. The expansion of the infrastructure was followed by an area-wide settlement of the district, the construction of the Evangelical Church of the Assumption, a senior citizens' center and the connection to local public transport.
The number of inhabitants increased from 422 (1950) to 1441 (2007).
Kleinhohenheim
The Kleinhohenheim residential area was once a royal Württemberg domain. The first Schönberg building stood here, erected in 1776: a Swiss house with a deep-drawn thatched roof.
In 1822 King Wilhelm I had it replaced by a new building by his court architect Giovanni Salucci , also based on the model of Swiss farmhouses. It served as a hunting lodge and was part of the royal horse stud.
Destroyed in World War II, there are only foundations left. Today they are part of a farm that is used by the University of Hohenheim as an experimental station for livestock biology and organic farming.
traffic
With the bus routes 71 (Hoffeld – Degerloch – Asemwald – Schönberg) and 70 (Hoffeld – Degerloch – Ruhbank – Schönberg – Plieningen) the district is integrated into the public transport of Stuttgart ( VVS ).
Sports
The Turn- und Sportverein Birkach eV was founded in 1888 and now has over 1,300 members. The sports facilities with clubhouse and restaurant are located in the Schönberg district of Birkach.
The Schwimmerbund Schwaben 1895 Stuttgart eV is a Stuttgart swimming sports club that operates synchronized swimming, water polo and swimming both on a recreational and competitive basis.
