history
Until the parish merger
The city of Leinfelden-Echterdingen was created on January 1st, 1975 through the merger of the city of Leinfelden and the communities of Echterdingen, Musberg and Stetten auf den Fildern. However, the four parishes have a long history.
The place name Echterdingen is mentioned for the first time in 1185, Stetten and Musberg in 1229, Leinfelden in 1269 and Oberaichen in 1287. A Leinfelder Ämtlein, to which Musberg and Stetten (with Hof and Weidach) belonged, is mentioned for the first time in 1524. Since 1557 the places belonged to Württemberg . In the course of the implementation of the new administrative structure in the Kingdom of Württemberg , Stetten broke away in 1810 and Musberg in 1819 from the Leinfelder Ämtlein, which was then dissolved. From then on, there were four municipalities, together with Echterdingen, all of which belonged to the Stuttgart office or administrative superior office .

On August 5, 1908, Ferdinand Graf von Zeppelin landed on a test drive with the airship LZ 4 on a meadow near Echterdingen due to an engine failure . (This was the first landing of an airship on solid ground.) However, LZ 4 was completely destroyed there in the afternoon of the same day during a thunderstorm.
In 1926 Leinfelden, Oberaichen and Unteraichen merged to form a community.
In 1938 the state airport Echterdingen was inaugurated. In the same year, the Stuttgart District Office was dissolved. Echterdingen and Stetten auf den Fildern came to the district of Esslingen , Leinfelden and Musberg to the district of Böblingen . In 1942 the Fasanenhof residential area was separated from the community of Echterdingen and incorporated into the city of Stuttgart.
At the airport (then airbase) was from November 1944 to January / February 1945 the KZ Echterdingen as one of the many branches of the Alsace located Natzweiler concentration camp . This external command was planned and set up by the Organization Todt (OT), for example to repair the damage caused by attacks by Allied bombers. The white hangar (“Eskimo Hall”), in which around 600 Jewish prisoners were locked up during their forced labor there, still exists today in the US Army airfield called “South Airfield”. The emaciated men, guarded by air force soldiers, dragged themselves to the quarries (for example in Emerland near Bernhausen ) and back again. Sometimes they could not even walk and were dragged along by two prisoners or pulled back on a two-wheeled cart. Mass graves of the concentration camp prisoners who perished as a result of these murderous conditions were found almost by chance near the Ramsklinge and near the hangar at the airport. In autumn 2005, the remains of 34 prisoners were discovered about 100 meters from the hangar and, after exhumation, buried at the site according to a Jewish ritual. On Sunday, April 15, 2007, the gravestones for the 34 victims of the concentration camp were placed. In order to keep the airport in operation, several thousand foreign and forced laborers were probably used during the war years, but their exact fates are difficult to reconstruct.
In 1945, all the places in what is now the district of Leinfelden-Echterdingen became part of the American zone of occupation and thus belonged to the newly founded state of Württemberg-Baden , which became part of the current state of Baden-Württemberg in 1952.
On April 26, 1965, the community of Leinfelden was raised to town.
In the course of the community reform , the city of Leinfelden and the community of Musberg (district of Böblingen) as well as the communities of Echterdingen and Stetten auf den Fildern (district of Esslingen) were combined to form the new city of Leinfelden-Echterdingen on January 1, 1975. The new municipality has been part of the Esslingen district since then.
Religions
The population of the four former parishes of today's city of Leinfelden-Echterdingen originally belonged to the diocese of Constance . Since the places belonged to Württemberg politically early on, the Reformation was introduced here by Duke Ulrich from 1535 , so they were predominantly Protestant for centuries. In the places there are also Protestant parishes with their own churches.
The Protestant parish church in Echterdingen is the oldest church in the city. The villages of Weidach , Leinfelden, Ober- and Unteraichen originally belonged to their district . In 1563, Leinfelden with Oberaichen and Unteraichen became a branch of Musberg. In 1896/97, however, a separate church (Peter and Paul) was built in Leinfelden. Unteraichen then also belonged to the community of Leinfelden, although there was a separate branch parish council there. In 1957, Leinfelden and Unteraichen became their own parish. A parish hall was built in Unteraichen in 1962 and the Church of the Resurrection in 1974. Oberaichen remained a subsidiary of Musberg until 1964, when it became an independent parish with its own church (Friedenskirche, built 1962–64).
The Musberg community belonged to Möhringen until 1563 , temporarily also to Vaihingen , then it became independent. Rohr (until 1857), Leinfelden and Ober- and Unteraichen also belonged to their district . After the parishes of Leinfelden-Unteraichen and Oberaichen were separated, Musberg has been a single parish since 1964. It celebrates its services in the second oldest church in today's urban area from 1563 with changes from 1682.
The parishioners in Stetten auf den Fildern belonged to different parishes. As early as 1304 there was a chapel on site. Later the place came ecclesiastically to Bernhausen, in 1819 to Echterdingen, to which Weidach had belonged since 1296. Hof also initially belonged to Bernhausen, then to Musberg and from 1816 also to Echterdingen. A separate parish for Stetten was only established in 1957. However, the community had already built a church in 1935. The predecessor was the chapel mentioned in the 14th century, which was a pilgrimage chapel in Weidach in the Middle Ages .
All six parishes in the city of Leinfelden-Echterdingen used to belong to the church district of Degerloch . In 1981 Bernhausen (city of Filderstadt) became the seat of its own church district within the Evangelical Church in Württemberg , to which all parishes in Leinfelden-Echterdingen today belong. The old Pietist community , the Liebenzeller community and the Michael Hahn community are also represented in Echterdingen .
Catholics have only been around in Leinfelden-Echterdingen since the 20th century. Catholic churches were built in almost all parts of the city. The Church of St. Raphael was built in Echterdingen in 1956 and was raised to a parish in 1968 after a pastoral care center had been set up in 1946. Stetten also belongs to the parish. The Church of St. Petrus and Paulus was built in Leinfelden in 1964. Musberg also belongs to the parish, but has had its own church at the Holy Cross since 1976. Both parishes (Echterdingen and Leinfelden) form pastoral care unit 1 within the Esslingen-Nürtingen deanery of the Rottenburg-Stuttgart diocese .
In addition to the Evangelical Regional Church and the Roman Catholic Church, there are also free churches and parishes in Leinfelden-Echterdingen , including the Evangelical Methodist Church .
There is also a mosque in the Echterdingen district. The New Apostolic Church has one congregation each in the Leinfelden district and in the Echterdingen district .

Former ski lift
South of Musberg there is a ski lift from Siebenmühlental to Hauberg, the so-called Pizmus , derived from the Rhaeto-Romanic word Piz for summit and the village of Musberg. Between the valley station at 397 meters and the mountain station at 445 meters, it overcomes a height difference of 48 meters. The 270 meter long system was built in 1965 by the Austrian company Doppelmayr and has three pillars, all of which are equipped with floodlights . The travel speed is two meters per second, the travel time is around two and a half minutes and the transport capacity is 800 people per hour. However, due to inheritance disputes, winters with little snow and upcoming investments, the drag lift or pommel lift has been out of service since 1995. There was also a ski jumping hill nearby , which was opened in February 1955 and where competitions were also held.
Buildings
Significant buildings in Leinfelden-Echterdingen are the Leinfelder House from 1570, the Protestant Stephanus Church (formerly "To our dear woman") in Echterdingen with a 52 meter high tower (construction started in 1439), the Protestant Peter and Paul Church in Leinfelden ( built 1896/97), the Protestant Trinity Church in Musberg (built in 1563 with ribbed vaults and medieval east tower, modified in 1682) and the Protestant Church in Stetten (built in 1935). In the city center of Echterdingen, in addition to the church, the old town hall (built around 1500), the Zehntscheuer, the rectory and the Philipp-Matthäus-Hahn-Uhr are to be mentioned. Outside of Echterdingen, the Zeppelin Stone is located in memory of the first landing of an airship on firm ground. After a long process of unification, construction of the Baden-Württemberg State Fair began in the Echterdingen district at the end of 2004. There is also an old town hall in Musberg, which was built in 1920.
The Filderhalle congress and conference center was initially built as a multi-purpose hall in 1958 and expanded in 1979.
Regional culinary specialties
- Filderkraut : A special type of white cabbage that is only grown on the Fildern. The cabbage head is not round, but rather tapers at the top. This is why the name "pointed cabbage" is also common. There are still three cabbage factories in the region that process Filderkraut into a particularly fine sauerkraut.
- Deie: A thin dough base with a cream topping and herbs. For example, the Deie is freshly baked at the Krautfest in the Echterdinger Backhaus.
Regular events
On the third weekend in October, the Filderkraut Festival has been taking place in all parts of the city of Leinfelden-Echterdingen since 1979 and is organized by the local associations and institutions. With around 40,000 visitors, this is the largest herb event in Germany.

Economy and Infrastructure
traffic
Airport
The Stuttgart airport , including the associated S-Bahn -Station and the planned Filderstadt station is situated in the east of the urban area of Leinfelden-Echterdingen. Most of the apron, the runway and taxiways, however, are located in the districts of Stuttgart and the neighboring town of Filderstadt to the east, where the control tower is also located.
Road traffic
Since 1936, Leinfelden-Echterdingen has been on the Federal Motorway 8 ( Karlsruhe –Stuttgart– Ulm - Munich ) and on the Federal Road 27 (Stuttgart– Tübingen ). Their intersection (junction Stuttgart- Degerloch , also called Echterdinger Ei ) is the busiest intersection in Baden-Württemberg. In addition to Stuttgart-Degerloch, the city of Leinfelden-Echterdingen can also be reached via the Stuttgart-Möhringen and Stuttgart-Airport / Messe connections.
Rail transport
The city was connected to the rail network in 1897 by the narrow-gauge Filderbahn from Möhringen to Neuhausen on the Fildern . The Echterdingen station building corresponded to a Württemberg unit train station of type IIIa. The line was expanded to standard gauge in 1902 .
In 1928 a railway line from Vaihingen on the Fildern via Leinfelden and Musberg to Waldenbuch was inaugurated under the name Schönbuchbahn (also called Siebenmühlentalbahn ). The section from Musberg to Waldenbuch was closed again in 1956, the remaining section from Leinfelden – Musberg followed in 1972. This route is not identical to today's Schönbuchbahn from Böblingen to Dettenhausen . With this measure, the standard-gauge line of the Filderbahn from Neuhausen to Vaihingen adF was connected and instead a narrow-gauge line of the electric Filderbahn from Möhringen via Leinfelden to Echterdingen was set up.
In 1934 this branch was integrated into the network and the tariff structure of the Stuttgart trams (SSB), from May 19, 1964, the continuous connection from Stuttgart to Echterdingen with articulated multiple units of the type GT4 followed . After the completion of the Stuttgart S-Bahn to Oberaichen in 1989, the section from Leinfelden to Echterdingen was canceled on November 3, 1990; the new tram only runs from Stuttgart to Leinfelden. In the meantime, however, there are plans to rebuild the route, which is hastily decommissioned from today's perspective.
The remaining goods traffic on the Filderbahn was given up in 1983, but the route is now partially used for the S-Bahn, which has been running via Oberaichen to the airport since 1993.
Public transportation
The local public transport ( ÖPNV ) Leinfelden-Echterdingens today mainly serve the lines S2 (Filderstadt – Stuttgart– Schorndorf ) and S3 (Airport – Stuttgart– Backnang ) of the S-Bahn Stuttgart (stops in the city area: Oberaichen, Leinfelden, Echterdingen and airport) as well as the underground line U5 (Leinfelden - Hauptbahnhof - Killesberg ) of the SSB (stops in the city area: Leinfelden Frank, Unteraichen and Leinfelden). The bus lines 76 and 77 of the SSB as well as 812/813, 814, 818, 819, 826 and 828 of the FMO also operate in the city area . All lines can be used at uniform prices within the Stuttgart Transport and Tariff Association (VVS).
