Traces of a former villa rustica (Roman estate) can be found in Hoheneck from Roman times . A brick kiln was apparently still in operation at the end of the 2nd century AD.

In the Middle Ages , Hoheneck was first mentioned as a castle facing the "high corner". The Hoheneck Castle was probably built around 1200 by the Margraves of Baden , who enfeoffed the noble knight family of the Hacken zu Hoheneck with her. These carried the same coat of arms as the possibly tribal Hummel von Lichtenberg from Lichtenberg and the lords of Heinriet . In 1252 a knight Wolfram von Hoheneck, "Wolframus miles de Hohennegk", is mentioned. The seal of a "Cunradus Hagonis de Hoheneg" can be found on a document from 1254. The first mention of a settlement near the castle "Hohenegge" dates back to 1291. Johann von Rechberg - Bargau temporarily came to Bargau through his marriage to Anna von Hoheneck the possession of parts of the castle and the place. Around 1340 he had the settlement walled with three gates and connected to the castle by two side walls. The couple donated fruit and wine gels from Benningen to the Dominicans of Schwäbisch Gmünd from their marriage property. In 1345 the Hacken von Hoheneck raised the place to a town with the consent of the Baden margraves. After the people of Württemberg with their determined territorial policy had already acquired rights to the castle and the city in 1360, which they continued to pledge to the Hacken, Hoheneck probably passed completely into their possession of the Counts of Württemberg at the end of the 14th century . The castle was apparently no longer used and fell into disrepair. The Hoheneck Office was formed under Württemberg rule. These included u. a. also Neckarweihingen and Hochberg. In 1551 the office was subordinated to the Obervogt in Marbach . In 1559 a suburb in front of the Vorderen Tor, around today's Brunnengasse, was mentioned. At the back of the church there were two wine presses and a rectory. The town hall was housed in one of the wine presses on the upper floor.

In 1643 the place was sacked during the Thirty Years War and burned down almost completely. The former city rights fell into oblivion. Hoheneck became a parish village, which together with the remaining miniature office Hoheneck-Neckarweihingen was incorporated into the new Ludwigsburg office in 1719 .

At the end of the 18th century and the beginning of the 19th century, new living spaces were built. The old city fortifications with their gates were demolished. In 1837 a brick factory was built on Hungerberg. At the end of the 19th century, almost 100 people lived in the valley .

Former spa in 2015

In 1892 the city of Ludwigsburg built a waterworks, and a few years later a salt source was found during the expansion. 1907 was the opening for the Hoheneck spa . Spa hotels and a spa house followed. Nevertheless, Hoheneck has to do without the title bathroom to this day . From June 1911 on, Hoheneck and the spa were connected to the Ludwigsburg train station by the Ludwigsburg overhead line , the terminus was at the central intersection in Alt-Hoheneck. Electric operation was discontinued in the spring of 1926 and replaced by buses from the then newly founded Ludwigsburg Transport Lines. Also in 1926, Hoheneck was incorporated into Ludwigsburg.

A new settlement, the so-called Neustadt, arose at the beginning of the 20th century along the upper Ludwigsburger Strasse.

Attractions

The old town center of Hoheneck is worth seeing because of its half-timbered houses, some of which are still very well preserved, and the small medieval Wolfgang Church.

The mountain nose at the ruins on the Schlossberg offers a view over the loops of the Neckar, the surrounding vineyards and Ludwigsburg and its residential palace .

A Roman manor ( villa rustica ) was located near the Favoritepark, which was excavated in 1911 by the later state curator Oscar Paret . In the course of the development of a new building area, an emergency excavation took place in 1986–1987 for the components to be built over and from 1991–1992 a surface excavation for the components to be converted into a green area. The manor consisted of residential buildings, bathing buildings, wells, brick kilns and outbuildings; a total of three construction phases were identified. The residential building had a spacious basement room. The floor plans of the residential building and the bathing building have been supplemented with stone slabs for inspection purposes. Information boards provide information about the archaeological finds on display.

Substation

Since 1926, Hoheneck has been the location of large transformer stations for several energy supply companies ( Amprion , EnBW , Süwag ), which are linked to one another at different voltage levels. The systems were created during the construction of the north-south pipeline . To this day, they are a central hub in Baden-Württemberg's power grid.

The substation also includes a 77-meter-high radio tower designed as a steel lattice tower.

societies

The culture and sports association Hoheneck e. V. emerged in February 1946 from the Hoheneck Workers' Gymnastics Club , founded in 1910 . In 2010 the KSV celebrated its 100th anniversary. The following departments are integrated in the club: football, singing, handball, tennis, table tennis and gymnastics. The teams of the handball department founded in 1947 have been playing in a syndicate with TSV Benningen and TuS Freiberg under the name HSG Neckar FBH since 2006 .
