history

The name Poppenweiler is derived from the medieval first name Boppo , the guiding name of the Counts of Lauffen . The village of Poppenweiler appears for the first time in 1122 in a deed of foundation in favor of the Odenheim monastery . Via the Counts of Lauffen and the County of Calw-Löwenstein , the place came to the County of Württemberg in the course of the 14th century and was under the authority of Marbach. Poppenweiler was considerably destroyed by the Thirty Years War and the War of the Palatinate Succession . From 1762 Poppenweiler belonged to the Oberamt Ludwigsburg. A fire in 1816 destroyed 15 buildings. At the end of the 19th century, the place expanded to the north. Poppenweiler's rural character was retained even after it was incorporated into Ludwigsburg on January 1, 1975.

coat of arms

The coat of arms of Poppenweiler, the design of which comes from the mayor seals of the 19th century, shows a black horseshoe in gold with seven golden nails, three on one side and four on the other. The horseshoe is intentionally upside down.

Attractions

The town center is well worth seeing with its half-timbered houses, some of which date from the 16th to 18th centuries.

The Protestant Church of St. George was mainly built in 1601, only the tower dates back to 1428. In the tower hall you can see wall paintings depicting the battle between virtues and vices . In 2014, several documents from the 19th century were found in the church and put together in a collection.

The former wine press was mentioned in the 1584 warehouse register . In 1837 it became the property of the community, it was rebuilt and renovated between 1981 and 1983. The former tithe barn , also located on “Kelterplatz” and renovated in 1981–1983, was built in 1596 (exposed half-timbered building with a solid, over four-meter high base and square corner edging).

An old half-timbered house in the center of the village is now used as a museum in which finds from Poppenweiler are exhibited.

The former school and community center was built in 1776–1777, used as a community center (apartments, kindergarten) from 1884, and since 1988 as a residential building.
