In the south-east is the Oppenweiler district of Zell on both sides of the river.
history
Until 1902, Staigacker was a rural estate with an inn ( Rose ) on the Salzstrasse between Schwäbisch Hall and Stuttgart. After the Murrbahn was built in the 19th century, the inn lost its importance and an important source of income for the farmers was lost.
The Houses of Mercy Foundation, founded by Queen Olga von Württemberg in 1864 , then acquired the property in 1902 after the Wilhelmsheim lung sanatorium had opened on the opposite mountain in 1900 . As early as July 18, 1904, the newly built main building of today's Staigacker nursing home was ready to move into. Today Staigacker is the seat of the Backnang and Wildberg Retirement Homes Foundation.
