history

The castle of the Volknand von Staufen, a Staufer servant who is considered to be the founder of the Adelberg Monastery , once stood south of today's Unterberken residential area in the "Burgholz" state forest .
In addition to the Adelberg monastery and Conrad von Beutelsbach, the Backnang monastery (1245), the lords of Vilsegge (1294), von Husen (1317), von Widstatt and those of Talheim (1408) owned Oberberken. From 1535 - after the dissolution of the convent - almost all of Ober- and Unterberken were part of the (Württemberg) monastery office of Adelberg. Only three fiefdoms in "Obernberckach" were directly under the Württemberg bailiwick and were therefore assigned to the Oberurbach staff. During the implementation of the new administrative structure in the Kingdom of Württemberg , Oberberken was assigned to the Oberamt Schorndorf in 1807 . In 1824 Oberberken was raised to a municipality with Unterberken. Before that, the places belonged to Hundsholz (today Adelberg ).
