history

The settlement history of the place goes back a long way: in addition to Germanic burial mounds, there were also clear traces of a former Roman estate and a stone image of the Roman god Mercury. In the forest oak ridge at Pfrondorf two kilns were from the Roman period found.

The place Pfrondorf was probably founded in the 7th century. It was first mentioned in a document in 1148. The lords of the community were the Count Palatine of Tübingen , who gave the place as a fief. Between 1293 and 1410, the nearby Bebenhausen monastery bought almost all of the property in the village and thus drew local authority to itself. After the dissolution of the monastery during the Reformation, the place was administered by the Wuerttemberg monastery office in Lustnau and in 1807 came to the Oberamt Tübingen . When the community was able to acquire the former monastery goods and buildings in 1821, they sold most of the buildings and fields to the citizens. The first community school and town hall (Kohlplattenweg 5) was occupied in 1801, in 1906 the new schoolhouse (Susserstr. 4), and in 1936 the shed school (Kohlplattenweg 16) was built. In 1962, the primary and secondary school was opened on the outskirts and has been operated as a primary school since 1968. In 1878 the forester's house on the Einsiedel was purchased, demolished stone by stone and rebuilt as the town hall in Pfrondorf. In 1911 Pfrondorf was connected to the power grid, and in 1936 the water pipeline was built. The late connection of the water pipes to the houses was due to the good supply from the wells. Initially, Pfrondorf drew groundwater from the Neckar valley, and from the 1960s on Lake Constance. The line from Lake Constance to Stuttgart leads over the western edge of the Pfrondorfer marking. On July 1, 1971, Pfrondorf was incorporated into Tübingen during the municipal reform.

This accelerated the structural change that had already been initiated. Numerous employees of the university and the clinic as well as employees of the large companies from Stuttgart and Böblingen with their families moved into the village, which is characterized by workers and part-time farmers. The settlement area of ​​Pfrondorf thus expanded considerably. The village has grown from around 1000 inhabitants in the prewar period to almost 3300 inhabitants today. The local infrastructure was expanded: the Schönbuchhalle, two new kindergartens, the Protestant parish hall, a swimming pool in the Kirnbach School, the new cemetery including the funeral hall, an industrial area and an additional sports field were created. There was also a small playing field as well as a basketball and beach volleyball field. After many years, the cooperatively run village shop has made it possible to buy local daily needs again. Numerous cultural and social initiatives expanded the traditional offers. Tempo 30 in town and a quarter-hourly bus connection to the city center complete the offer. In 2009 the elementary school was thermally renovated, the music association built a music center and in 2012 a residential complex for senior citizens with assisted living and a house community for those in need of care was built on the site of the old building yard and the shed school.

coat of arms

The blazon of the former municipal coat of arms reads: "In gold on a stunted red branch a sitting red squirrel holding a red pine cone in its front paws." When it was incorporated into Tübingen on July 1, 1971, it was no longer used as an official coat of arms.
