history

The beginnings of Tonolzbronn - like those of the main town Ruppertshofen - extend into the 9th / 10th. Century back. Up to the 12th century the development of the two places should have been the same. Only then did Ruppertshofen receive a sustainable development boost and grew from a hamlet to a village. The trigger for this was the reorganization of the Hohenstaufen estate, which Friedrich I of Staufen initiated and grandson Friedrich I (Barbarossa) continued.
