Foundation and development

Pattonville was built in 1954 by the US Army for around 50 million marks. Four officers' villas and 52 apartment blocks with 936 apartments were built. The General George Smith Patton Jr. was named godfather of the settlement, which housed up to 3,750 military personnel. An American high school was located in the settlement from 1955 to 1992. From 1955 to 1968 this was called Ludwigsburg American High School, from 1968 Stuttgart American High School. This taught around 1200 students at peak times. Well-known students included Newt Gingrich , 98th Speaker of the House of Representatives , and Katrina Leskanich from the music group Katrina and the Waves .

In the summer of 1993, the American army withdrew and the area, which until then mainly belonged to the Aldingen district, has been used for civilian purposes ever since. There was a division of the district, which was organized by the Pattonville / Sonnenbergsiedlung association. The Zweckverband, consisting of the cities of Ludwigsburg , Kornwestheim and Remseck am Neckar , acquired the entire area on December 21, 1994 for 94.7 million marks. Since it is a military conversion area , the state of Baden-Württemberg is participating in the expansion and renovation within the framework of its urban and residential construction subsidies. Since then, the western part has belonged to the city of Kornwestheim, the eastern part still to the city of Remseck. The city of Ludwigsburg received their share in the Sonnenberg settlement from Kornwestheim to compensate .

Seven construction phases were formed. The aim was to create modern and well-developed living space for around 7,500 people in Pattonville by 2011. In 2016 the settlement had about 7,300 inhabitants.

Today's administration

As a result of the location in different districts, there are two districts of the same name that belong to different cities, namely Remseck and Kornwestheim. There is a joint administration, the Pattonville Association . This is chaired alternately by the mayors of the two cities involved.

In the school area, both districts form a common school district for the Pattonville elementary school , which is run by the city of Remseck am Neckar. The secondary schools in the city of Remseck am Neckar and the Erich-Bracher-Schule (commercial school, business high school, vocational college) in the Kornwestheim part of Pattonville are also available to students from Pattonville .

Religions

The Protestant parish of Pattonvilles belongs to the Protestant parish of Kornwestheim, the Catholic parish of St. Martin in Kornwestheim. Both denominations celebrate their services in the Holy Spirit Church, which serves as an ecumenical community center.

Infrastructure

Pattonville does not have a direct connection to rail traffic, but bus connections that connect the district with the rail networks in Kornwestheim, Remseck and Ludwigsburg .

South of the settlement is the Pattonville airfield , which was created by the Wehrmacht and after World War II by the US Army and the like. a. was expanded with rocket positions. Today it can also be used by the public. The rescue helicopter Christoph 51 has been stationed there since 2009 . Although the airfield can only be reached via the L 1144 near Pattonville, it is already completely within the boundaries of Stuttgart.

With the expansion of the center of Pattonville, there is a service and shopping center, called PattonPoint, and a community center. In 2015, another building with service providers, a bank branch and a supermarket was added. Currently (2016) three more buildings are being built on the northern outskirts, along the main street, which will offer space for shops, offices and service providers in addition to apartments.
