List of sights in Schwäbisch Gmünd

Schwäbisch Gmünd on Balthasar Riecker's stalking map, 1572

Schwäbisch Gmünd, 2010

Schwäbisch Gmünd grew out of the historic city center and several formerly independent communities. This decentralized development history means that there is a wealth of sights in today's Schwäbisch Gmünd - not only in the center of the city, but also in the outskirts. These range from traces of Roman times to modern architecture.
Until well into the 19th century, plots within the area of ​​the city wall remained undeveloped, so that the historical city limits were only exceeded at the beginning of the 20th century. Apart from the demolition of the city walls and most of the towers from 1830, most of the historical building fabric was preserved. Schwäbisch Gmünd is one of the few German cities that did not suffer any significant destruction during the Second World War . Only the building frenzy from 1945 onwards led to losses in the building fabric. The list does not claim to be complete.

World Heritage Site Roman Limes

The Rhaetian Limes , which was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2005 , ran north of the historic old town . Several display boards on the Limes hiking trail bear witness to the former Roman external border. The castles discovered in what is now the urban area are worth seeing. Some roads were already in use in Roman times. First scheduled investigations by the Reich Limes Commission from 1886. Since the Limes was declared a World Heritage Site, work has also been carried out in Schwäbisch Gmünd to improve the external presentation of the archaeological sites.

A copy of the fragment is at the place of discovery.

City fortifications

Inner (Staufer) city wall

The oldest reliable mention of the inner, Staufer city ​​wall comes from the year 1291. The city wall encompassed an area of ​​approx. 16 hectares and its ring-shaped course can still be traced in the town plan today, as the old wall course was not built over. The ditch belonging to it was still partially detectable in the 20th century. The first city wall can only be seen in a few visible places in the city. All gate towers have gone off.

Outer city wall

Probably built in the 14th century. The remaining wall remains and towers all date from the 15th century. In 1353 and 1373 the outer city wall is mentioned in council minutes; the uprising of the suburbs in 1378 also suggests the existence of an outer city wall. References to the moat in the west of the city go back to the 16th century. On February 17, 1645 a piece of the city wall collapsed at the Königsturm over a length of 200 shoes , but was rebuilt after two months.

In 1819 the Oberamt asked the magistrate to repair or demolish the wall as far as possible, as it was deteriorating. Around 1830, Georg Mühleisen , the city scholar, began to remove most of the towers and the city wall as far as possible.

Sacred buildings

The numerous churches, monasteries and chapels already gave the Catholic imperial city the reputation of a " Swabian Nazareth ". The Johanniskirche from the 13th century is closely linked to the founding legend of the city. Well known is the Heilig-Kreuz-Münster , built by the Parlers . After Württemberg took ownership in 1802, numerous church buildings were demolished and the monasteries dissolved. Even today, the sacred buildings shape the image of the old town, in the outer districts some modern church buildings from the post-war period.

The building of the synagogue, built in 1926 in a former back building of a gold and silver goods factory, was devastated in 1938 and demolished in 1954 for the new construction of the Kreissparkasse .
