history

In 1328 Kleinsteinbach was first mentioned in a document as "Niedern Steinbach". "Cleinen Steinbach" is mentioned in the written records as early as 1346.

Kleinsteinbach was an accessory to Remchingen Castle and Baden - probably originally from Weißenburg, then from Eberstein - fiefdom for the Lords of Remchingen and temporarily for relatives who were included in the inheritance . In 1562 the Lords of Remchingen sold the place with the castle to the Margrave of Baden.

In the war in France in 1692 against the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation, Kleinsteinbach was destroyed and plundered.

Kleinsteinbach was a farming village until the 19th century. This changed with the construction of the railway in 1859. Kleinsteinbach belonged to the Baden-Durlach office of Stein until 1821, then to the Durlach office, and from 1924 to Karlsruhe.

After the Second World War, building land was opened up, the place received a sewer network and a sewage treatment plant. An elevated water tank was built. Furthermore, the primary and secondary school and a kindergarten were built.

On January 1, 1974, Kleinsteinbach was incorporated into the new Pfinztal community.
