Attractions

  • The Mühringer mikveh , completely restored by private individuals.
  • Hohenmühringen Castle - Overall a mixture of the Middle Ages, Renaissance and Neo-Gothic. The focus is on the medieval keep, known as the Heidenturm, with a neo-Gothic battlement. This is bordered by a three-storey granary built in the 16th century, the "New Building". Several buildings in neo-Gothic style, including a castle chapel, were added to these in 1857.

Personalities

Nathanael Weil wrote most of his well-known commentary on the Talmud during his time as a rabbi in Mühringen (1745–1750) .

Probably the best-known Mühringer is the founder of the Berlitz language schools , Maximilian Delphinius Berlitz , who was born as David Berlitzheimer on April 14, 1852 in Mühringen, later emigrated to America and founded the world-famous language school there.

A particularly original "Mühringer" seems to have been the rotten rabbinate Jakob Stern who was active in Mühringen in the years 1873 and 1874 . After breaking with Judaism in 1882, he managed to make his break visible for everyone by sitting down on the market square in front of the synagogue on the Sabbath (probably in Stuttgart?) And eating ham rolls there.

Oscar Freiherr von Münch lived at Hohenmühringen Castle , who represented the constituency of Württemberg 8 ( Freudenstadt , Horb , Oberndorf , Sulz ) in the German Reichstag for the German People's Party from 1890 to 1893 . On October 29 / November 5, 1903, the Stuttgart Regional Court sentenced him to two months' imprisonment for insulting. On February 27, 1893, Münch gave a speech at the 53rd session of the Reichstag, which he used primarily to explain his personal problems with the judiciary. He later used his mandate to expose alleged inadequacies of the legal system. In the second half of his life, Münch was involved in various legal proceedings, including a. because he shot his servant with a pistol in 1900. He published various writings on his version of the various procedures.
