Tips from the Community
The marketplace of Vaihingen an der Enz is a small jewel that many overlook when passing through. The town hall and the half-timbered houses around the square partly date from the 16th century. Also check out the alleys behind it. Some of the oldest buildings in the city are located there, away from the tourist hustle and bustle.

Schmie's village center, with its numerous half-timbered houses: Schmie was first documented in 1308, when Rudolf von Roßwag donated property there to Maulbronn Monastery. The Lords of Enzberg, Wunnenstein, and the Counts of Württemberg also held lands in Schmie. During the 14th century, Maulbronn Monastery acquired local lordship over Schmie. The village became part of Württemberg in 1504, then belonging to the monastery office and later to the Maulbronn district office.
