Martin Luther parish in Böblingen
The Martin Luther parish (part of the Böblingen church district ) comprises parts of the core town of Böblingen, in particular the residential areas of Tannenberg and Rauher Kapf. As a result of the strong influx after the Second World War , the Protestant parish of Böblingen, which until then only had the town church, became too large. The Martin-Luther-Kirchengemeinde Böblingen was formed as an independent parish through the announcement of the upper church council on February 13, 1964, when the previously sole parish of Böblingen was divided into three parishes at the time.
The Martin Luther parish also continued to grow, so that in the 1970s the parish center on Murkenbachweg was built or acquired for the Tannenberg area and later the parish center Taunusstraße for the parishioners of the forest settlement “Rauher Kapf”. Thus the Martin Luther parish now has three parish centers. Today three pastors in the pastoral care districts north, south and east serve in the Martin Luther parish.
