State Granary

Highlight • Monument

The impressive structure was built in 1469 as a storage building with a stone ground floor. The building is 17 meters wide, 14.5 meters deep, and 18 meters high.

The building was designated as the State Granary in 1495 when Duke Eberhard I, following the First State Ordinance published in 1495, decreed that four granaries, one of which was to be located in Markgröningen, were to be built for storing grain for times of need.

The ducal master builder Heinrich Schickhardt came to Markgröningen in 1619 for major renovation work on this building. At the beginning of the 19th century, its use changed. The State Granary initially housed the spinning mill of the hospital, then served as a dormitory for prisoners of the correctional and workhouse located in the former castle. Since 1872, it housed the dormitories for the female students of the teacher training college. Subsequently, a dormitory of the Internationaler Bund für Sozialarbeit was housed here until 2003. In 2010, major conversion measures were carried out for residential use.

Obere Kelter (Bannkelter)

Highlight • Monument

Built in 1491 as a stately, five-aisled wine press with four wine presses, the naturally curved head and foot braces are already mortised. Wine presses require a good supply of fresh air, which the preserved window openings provide here. The building is decorated in medieval colors.

Oberes Tor (Upper Gate) Markgröningen

Highlight • Historical Site

The youngest and only surviving of the four former city gates was built as a gate tower with a high watch around 1555 at the request and expense of the citizens. With its additional function as a second high watch - alongside the high watch tower at the city church - the gate tower is today the most important witness to the former city fortifications with gates, watchtowers and ditches. The city gates used to be closed in the evening. The evening closing of the gates was announced by the ringing of the gate bell. Since 1833, the gates have also remained open at night, in accordance with a city council resolution.

Markgröningen Castle

Highlight • Castle

Built as an imperial castle around 1240, it was further expanded from around 1250 onward. In 1481, under Count Eberhard the Beard, it was expanded and converted into a palace, where the old Imperial Storm flag was kept. Partially demolished in 1724. The stones were used, among other things, for the construction of the Ludwigsburg Residence. In 1808, a new building was constructed: a penitentiary, later an orphanage. From 1873, it served as a teachers' college, now a secondary school.

Pandora sculpture

Highlight • Monument

Pandora in front of the VR-Bank in Markgröningen, 2012-2013, by Karl-Henning Seemann: The ancient theme of Pandora was chosen by the artist twice for a bronze figure erected in public space: once in Hilden from 1995 to 1998 as a counterpart to the "Hurry Shopper," and the second time more than 20 years later in front of the VR-Bank in Markgröningen. Here, her box is just opening—the gift from the gods as a symbol of the greatest happiness and the greatest risk.

Markgröningen Town Hall

Highlight • Monument

The town hall of the town of Markgröningen was built from 1441 as a department store, council and court building of the former Württemberg district town of Grüningen. The size and the high structural quality of the listed half-timbered building reflect the "second spring" of the former imperial city in the 15th century.
